AN ADORABLE cat who lost his home because he was too lively is still looking for his forever home more than three long months later.

Lovely Rapha adores humans and is just two years old, but the black and white bundle of energy has been deemed too much of a handful for a home with children.

Amazingly, despite his tuxedo good looks and charming personality, no one has so far come forward to offer this beautiful cat a home three months after he was brought to the cattery.

Rayleigh Cats Protection spokesman Angeline Burton said: “Rapha is a gorgeous cat, full of love and energy.

“He craves human contact and doesn’t deserve to be cooped up in a pen for so long, while he waits to find a new owner. He is young and healthy and has so much to offer.

“We just don’t understand why he has been overlooked so often.”
