HAVING been at RSPCA Southridge Animal Centre for five months, Bailey the cat is still in need of a new home.

The six-year-old tabby and white shorthaired cat arrived at the South Mimms centre in September, after his owner moved home and left him with one of his neighbours.

But becoming increasingly unsettled and unhappy, Bailey was then taken to the Packhorse Lane centre to be re-homed.

A spokesman for the animal care home told the Potters Bar Edition: “Bailey is sometimes defensive with people until he gets to know them, and then he is very sweet.

“This does make it difficult to find him the new home he deserves.”

He added: “Bailey needs an understanding owner who will let him settle and show them what a lovely boy he really is.”

If you can offer Bailey an adult home with a garden and no dogs, call RSPCA Southridge Animal Centre on 0300 123 0704.

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