Charles was well known as being the local stray but was taken to the vets after he was seen being hit by a car, he didn't suffer any severe injuries but it left him shaken.

Despite all Charles has been through, the staff at RSPCA East Norfolk have described him as a gentle and sweet-natured cat who loves a head rub. The RSPCA is hoping there is someone out there willing to give poor Charles his forever home and to help build his confidence again.

If you think you could give Charles the home he needs then please see the ways to get in touch with the RSPCA at the end of this article.

Alex is another cat who started life as a stray. He was taken to the vets after a kind person noticed him limping, he has now fully recovered and ready to find a home of his own. Due to his sad background, the RSPCA has advised that "he is quite shy around new people but give him a chance to get to know you and he realises he doesn't have to be scared."
