A stray cat left unable to walk after being hit by a car is back to health thanks to a strict walking regime - and now needs a new home.

The five-year-old was left badly injured when he was struck and cared for by the RSPCA center at St Columb, Cornwall, England in March.

Nicknamed Bumper, he was given pain relief and underwent weeks of physio.

It involved walking up and down the corridor of the cattery for 10 minutes a day to build his muscles back up.

Now eleven-weeks later he has fully recovered and is looking for his forever home.

Sammy Howard at the RSPCA Cornwall branch, said: “Bumper has had a long journey at the center after healing from a damaged pelvis but now he’s strong on his legs again and doing incredibly well.

''He’s a huge foodie so that helped make his physio easier and he won’t let anything hold him back now.

“He’s one of the soppiest cats we’ve ever had at our center. He just absolutely loves fuss and adores falling asleep curled up on a lap!

“He is a kind and loving boy who will need an owner who can be around most of the time to give him lots of fuss and also help him with his ongoing recovery.”

Bumper would prefer to be the only cat in the home and would prefer not to live with dogs.

He could live with children of primary school age or older and he would like to be able to go outside and explore.
