Here are the cats at a Wigan borough animal shelter currently looking for their forever homes

There is a number of reasons why animals find themselves at Leigh Dogs and Cats Home.

Sometimes they’ve been abandoned, sometimes they have been victims of cruelty and been taken away from their owners; sometimes loving owners have had to give them up because they are no longer capable of looking after them.

But whatever the reason, the not-for-profit organisation pledges to find these pets suitable new owners, no matter how long it takes.

Here are the latest felines waiting to find their perfect home and owner.
