Long-term one-eyed foster cat with Mansfield rescue charity is seeking 'furever' home

A long-term foster cat from Mansfield with one eye – who has a “cheeky” young character for an “old boy” – is seeking a forever home.

Eric, an “adorable” eight-year-old tomcat, requires an indoor home where he can be the only pet in the house.

According to the Mansfield Cat Rescue team, an independent voluntary-run charity, Eric may be a “little bossy”, but is an “incredible character”.

And due to losing his eye as the result of a viral infection, rescue volunteers suggest an “indoor home” is needed for long-term fostered cat.

Nikita Harris, a trustee and administrator at the rescue, said: “Eric is a smart, old boy who has his foster mum wrapped around his little toe beans.

“She's pretty sure he could master anything, but the one thing he can't master is successfully finding a new home.

“While his foster mum adores him greatly, he needs to find someone else to own. Someone who is going to let him be the man of the house and feed him Dreamies on demand.”
