A traumatised cat that will not be touched is among a host of potential pets that need a home in Norfolk.
Jaxx is hoping to find his own home where he will be loved and cared for after surviving as a stray for a number of years.
East Coast Pet Rescue, a small self-funded rescue which cares for and rehabilitates animals, said the 12-year-old grey and white cat arrived in their care "worse for wear".

He is currently having veterinary treatment and is described as having a relaxed friendly personality.
Samba was also a long-term stray who was in a "poorly way" when he was taken to the rescue and was previously very dehydrated.
He needs to have blood tests before he can be rehomed but these have been postponed due to the dehydration.

The rescue team said he was not comfortable enough to be touched and stroked and that he will need an owner who would be "happy to give him all the time in the world to learn to trust".
