An animal charity in Surrey is appealing to find a home for a partially sighted cat and his best friend.

Kane, a four-year-old male, and Candy, a five-year-old female, arrived at RSPCA Millbrook Animal Centre in Chobham on 18 March after their owners were unable to care for them due to personal reasons.

Vets believe that Kane is only able to see movements and light – leaving him with very limited vision.

Sue Walters, manager of the centre, said: “We really hope we can find the perfect home for these cats, as although they both have different needs, they are incredibly bonded and Kane is often guided by Candy.”

With Euro 2024 underway, the centre hopes that Kane’s namesake can attract more potential adopters.

“This pair are so lovely but sadly we haven’t had any interest in them whatsoever,” Ms Walters added.

“We know many people across Surrey will be hoping that football comes home this summer, thanks to Harry Kane and his England team-mates. But at the centre, our goal is to find a home for our very own Kane and his favourite strike partner Candy.”

Anyone interested in adopting the pair is urged to contact the RSCPA centre.
