The Cats Protection charity is highlighting a number of cats who are looking to find new homes from its branches around Dorset.
The organisation has a number of branches in the county, including Bournemouth & District, Ferndown, Weymouth & District and Mid Dorset.

Big Ginge is described as a "loving and friendly companion" who enjoys attention and would be happy to join a peaceful home.
It's believed he had cat flu in the past, but he's responded well to treatment and just needs eye drops to keep him comfortable.
Cats Protection adds: "Big Ginge is looking for a quiet retirement home with a garden to explore, away from busy roads.
"He'd prefer to be the only cat, where he can enjoy all the love and attention for himself."

Louisa is described as a "stunning long-haired beauty" who has a soft nature and a loving heart.
She may be a little shy at first, especially around sudden noises, but she will open up over time.
Cats Protection adds: "This lovely girl thrives in a peaceful environment and would be best suited to a quiet home where she can feel safe and secure."
Bracken

Age - 15 years old
Colour - Black and White
If you want to adopt Bracken you can view their full profile here.
Bracken is a "friendly lad" who is looking for a special home willing to support him in his twilight years.
He has mild 'Luxating Patellas' in his hind legs, so will need Loxicom added to his food once a day to help support him.
Cats Protection says that Bracken will make a "delightful companion" for an adult-only home or one with older children (over the age of 10).
With the right introductions and enough space, he may also be willing to live with a cat-friendly dog, as he has done so previously.
