ALBERT the goat is the latest arrival to grace the grounds of the RSPCA Southridge Animal Centre, in South Mimms.

The three-year-old was found astray in Essex and captured by RSPCA inspectors who then waited for his owners to come forward.

Sadly, no one has claimed the animal and so a new home and family are being sought for him.

Anna White, manager of the Packhorse Lane animal centre told the WHT: "Albert is now an orphan looking for a new family to call his own.

"As you can see from the picture he is a very handsome chap."

Ms White added: "He is a very friendly goat, jumping up at the fence and calling to you every time you walk past.

"Goats are very intelligent animals and do make good pets."

Albert needs a lot of space to run around in and a nice warm, safe and secure shelter to go into at night and during bad weather conditions.

The animal would be best suited to a home with other goats.

* If you can offer Albert the goat a new start in life, call the animal care home on 0300 123 0704.

Alternatively you can visit the centre which is open every day, except Wednesdays, from 11am until 4.15pm.
