A spokeswoman said: "We are still urgently looking for a foster home for poor Goldie.

"She has recently been diagnosed with cancer of the nose and we are so sad to say there is no veterinary treatment available.

"Aside from her swollen nose, Goldie seems to be feeling well - she’s loving and playful, the same as she’s always been.

"It's a real shame for her to be in the cattery while she still feels well and we want to get her settled into a foster home ASAP so she can enjoy the rest of her health for as long as possible.

"As her health is inevitably going to decline, we are looking for a home with no other pets and no young children.

"This is to ensure she stays safe when she becomes more fragile. For the time being, Goldie would enjoy a safe outdoors space to explore."

The spokeswoman added: "We know it's an emotional ask and we appreciate the support.

"Goldie may be ill, but right now she is still a playful, affectionate young cat and she will make a wonderful companion for somebody in the time she has."

Whilst in a foster home all her veterinary care will be funded by the centre.
