FOUND as a stray with terribly infected, painful wounds, Bruce was very timid after arriving at RSPCA Southridge Animal Centre.

It took months of veterinary treatment and care, from staff at the South Mimms centre, for the cat's wounds to heal.

A spokeswoman for the Packhorse Lane animal care home told the Potters Bar Edition how the four-year-old feline pet is now ready to move on from his past and suffering and be re-homed.

She added: "Poor Bruce has had a very hard life.

"It was obvious he had never been shown much affection but once he trusts you Bruce is very sweet."

The shorthaired cat needs an adult home and is best suited as the only pet.

He also needs a patient owner who is used to cats and is understanding while Bruce settles into a new life.

If you can be that owner and offer Bruce a new start in life, call the animal care home on 0300 123 0704.

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