A cat that was no longer wanted by its owner as he got older is seeking his forever home.

Ozzy, 13, was handed in as a stray to vets in Worthing before being passed to Worthing Cat Welfare Trust.

Although his original owners were found, he was no longer wanted by them.

He is now looking for his forever home to spend his retirement years.

A spokesman for the charity said: "13-year old Ozzy is a cute old boy who was handed in as stray at the vets. Sadly, whilst his owners were located he was not longer wanted.

"He is such a lovely lad, very affectionate and loves his food.

"He can live with children, as the only pet in the home."

Ozzy is covered by the charity's Golden Oldies Scheme, which means Worthing Cat Welfare Trust will fund any age-related veterinary costs.

The owner will still pay for all cat costs including food and annual vaccination costs.
