This week, Croydon Animal Samaritans is urgently seeking a loving home for a seven-year-old feline brother and sister.

Rescued by a Croydon resident on a visit to Wales, Gareth and Megan were under threat of being put to sleep after their elderly owner had died, and so were brought back to the borough.

Gareth is ginger and white and long-haired and Megan is a short-haired tortoiseshell.

Both have been neutered.

The pair must stay together and need a quiet home as they are not used to children.

If anyone can offer this bewildered pair a new home call 0181 668 8065.
