An extremely rare “werewol”‘ cat, who is believed to be one of 200 left in the world, is looking for a new home.
Fern, a Lykoi cat, was given up for adoption and taken to Cats Protection in Warrington, Cheshire, after her previous owner went into care.
Lykoi cats are incredibly rare and it’s estimated there are only 100 to 200 of the animals in the world.
The breed is also known as ‘werewolf cats’ for their distinctive appearances, as they are a hybrid between hairless and haired cats.
Adoption center manager Lindsay Kerr has now urged people to come forward if they are interested in the ‘sweet’ but ‘unique’ cat.
Fern’s ideal future home would be a quiet, calm one with no other pets or children.
Lindsay said: “Sadly, Fern has had very little interest so far and she really is a sweet girl.
“She was really finding it quite stressful in the centre, so she is staying with one of our fosterers, where she has really come out of her shell.
“Fern is looking for a quiet home as she is initially quite wary.
“She was treated for an ear infection when she first arrived, but this cleared up after treatment and she has a little cyst on her head, but the vet said it is not a concern.
“I think she will make a lovely companion for the right person who is looking for a unique cat.”
