Anfield cat is found

The Anfield Cat has turned up at an animal rescue shelter.

Shankly, as he has been renamed, is resting up after all the excitement of last week at Freshfields Animal Rescue Centre in Liverpool.

The poor cat is covered in bites and has a large abscess under his chin. He was picked up by one of the centre's ‘Cat Neutering Programme' co-ordinators.

Shankly will remain under the care of the Liverpool rescue for a few weeks and top of the agenda for him will be neutering, vaccinating and micro-chipping all things that any responsible pet owner would ensure happened anyway.

Then the shelter will be accepting applications for his adoption in three weeks time.
