Neo, this loveable moggy, is in need of a new home.

His owners, Sara Hurley and Stephen Prentice, are reluctantly parting company with him to make more room for a new arrival - Sara is expecting her second baby

in June.

The couple, who live in Livingstone Street, Worcester, got Neo as a kitten five years ago and say he is a well loved cat with a lovely temperament.

Sara, who suffers from asthma, said: "I was allergic to cats but my partner wanted one. I spoke to my doctor and a vet who said having a cat could help the allergy. And it did."

Since then they have started a family. Charlotte is 12 months old and there is another on the way.

"We feel we cannot give him the love and caring attention we used to give him. Having a baby is a lot of work. I think I am going to have enough to keep me occupied. I know my partner will miss him and my daughter will be devastated to begin with."

Anyone who thinks they can give Neo a loving home should contact Sara by leaving a message on her voicemail on 07766058813.

She will return any calls in the evening.

Sara said Neo is fully inoculated and spayed and has a vet's record any prospective new owner can see. Neo also comes with his cat box, bowls and toys.
