A stray cat who loves playing with toys is looking for her forever home.

Ava, two, is up for adoption with the Worthing Cat Welfare Trust after being found homeless.

The cat, who is currently being fostered, is said to be "playful and chatty".

The welfare charity said she "took a long time to come out of her shell" and needs to live in a quiet environment with patient owners.

Ava also needs to be the only pet in the home and cannot live with children under the age of 13.

A spokesman for the Worthing Cat Welfare Trust said: "She likes pets and nuzzles but on her own terms.

"She's become more and more chatty as time has gone on, and loves to play with her toys – she’s also terribly nosy and likes to get into everybody’s business."
