Two cats who became flea-infested after being abandoned by their owners are among the animals looking for new homes at a Norfolk rescue centre. 

East Coast Pet Rescue is currently "extremely busy" and has 15 rabbits, four guinea pigs, two chinchillas, two dogs and 11 cats in its care.

The centre has many more animals due to come in and is looking for forever homes for lots of four-legged pets.

Gordon and Lloyd were left behind by their previous owners but luckily neighbours fed them and contacted East Coast Pet Rescue for help. 

Both cats were infested with fleas and Lloyd was so matted that he needed to be shaved and neutered.

A spokeswoman for the rescue centre said: "Lloyd is shy but likes a fuss and a head rub, Gordon is quite confident and friendly."

Two other cats, Arthur, 14, and Hazel, 11, came to the centre under sad circumstances after their owner passed away, leaving them and several other cats. 

They would both like to have access to the outdoors once they have passed their settling-in period and are confident around new people. 

With so many rabbits looking for the right owners, Flip flop, Slipper and Sandal have been waiting a long time for their forever home.

Also at the centre are two pairs of guinea pigs, Ant and Dec, who are 21-months-old, and Rodney and Derek, who are just over a year old.
