A PLUCKY cat found licking its wounds in the garden of an elderly lady after being knocked down has made a full recovery - and is ready for a new home.

Marvel, a tabby tomcat aged between two and three is a friendly young chap in need of a loving owner.

Vets originally feared he had broken his leg when he was first taken in - but the injury was not as bad as first though and he now has a clean bill of health.

Also in need of a new home are brothers Carvo and Dalton, a pair of ginger toms who would suit any kind of family due to their friendly temperament.

They found themselves in the care of Animal Welfare in Barrow after their owner found she could no longer cope with pets.

All of the cats have been neutered and microchipped.

If you can offer one of the cats a home or would like further information, call the shelter on 01229 836955 or call in to see one of the team.
