Oxfordshire cats looking for a new place to call home

Blue Cross has the cats, which desperately need adopting, in their Burford rehoming centre.

The centre, which opened in 1990, has facilities for 25 dogs, 21 cats, 14 rabbits and other small pets.

They also have paddocks and stables to care for up to 60 horses.

The centre takes in pets that have been voluntarily given up by owners for any reason.

The centre runs on donations, with the chance for pet owners to donate pet food to keep the animals fed.
