EVESHAM Cats Protection are urging locals to adopt Popeye.

Popeye is one of many big cats that the Pitchers Hill based centre has that need a rural home where they can have their own space and enjoy the outdoors but also have the certainty of a meal twice a day.

Fran Holder, a volunteer at the branch, said: "These cats have been used to being outside and would not adjust to an indoor home, therefore we are looking for stables, small holdings or other similar environments where these cats will be safe and cared for and in return they will control the vermin population."

If you are able to house any of these cats please call 01386 833343 for more information.
