Meet Nikki, a five-year-old cat in a Cats Protection sponsored pen.

Every day hundreds of unwanted cats, like Nikki, are handed over to Cats Protection.

Five-year-old Nikki is a lovely little cat who was admitted to us because she was stressed out in her previous home and her owner thought she’d be better suited to a quieter one.

Although she is a friendly and affectionate cat, she can be quite timid with new people. What Nikki really needs is a quiet home without any other pets and an owner who will give her the time and attention she needs to blossom. We hope she finds her forever home soon!

Sponsoring one of our cat pens is one of the best ways you can help cats like Nikki, providing them with shelter, warmth, food, medical care and the love they need. It's easy to become a sponsor right now, for as little as 19p a day. Visit www.cats.org.uk/sponsor
