A NINETEEN-year-old cat is looking to find a new home where he can live out his days along with his young pal.

Odin was admitted to Cats Protection’s Glasgow Adoption Centre, along with four-year-old Luna, when their owner fell ill and could no longer look after them.

The pair share a close bond so they will need to be homed together, where they can play and groom each other.

Described as a “gentle soul who purrs like crazy”, the ginger gentleman can be shy to begin with but loves a lap and a stroke once he gains confidence.

For an elderly cat, he is in good health and enjoys being able to go outside. On his last vet visit, a grade 1 heart murmur was noted but this is not causing him any problems.

Lynsey Anderson, senior cat care assistant, said: “Both cats have lived with their previous owner since they were kittens, which for Odin was 19 years, therefore it would be lovely for them to be adopted as quickly as possible so that they can have all of their home comforts back again.

“It isn’t always easy finding homes for older cats, but they still have so much love to offer. Life in a pen is no substitute for a permanent home and we really want to find Odin a home he can retire to and be pampered.”

Odin and Luna would best be suited to an adult-only home, with outdoor access but away from busy roads.
