LOOKING for the purr-fect home is mother and son Maisie and Jasper, who are cats of the month for May at the Cats Protection.

The duo were taken to the Slutchers Lane centre because their previous owners were moving and could not take them.

Maisie, an eight-year-old tortoiseshell, needs to be rehomed with seven-year-old Jasper ideally living with older children as the only pets in the house.

Cordula Birkemeyer, cattery assistant, said: “Maisie loves attention and being stroked and though she doesn’t like being picked up she will sit contently on your lap.

“Jasper is a cute black male who may appear a little nervous when first meeting strangers but once he feels more confident with someone he becomes very affectionate and loving.

“Choosing a pair is beneficial for anyone who spends long hours at work as the cats can keep each other company and won’t get lonely.”
