A scaredy cat is struggling to find a new home…because she is petrified of MEN.
The five-year-old moggy – named Josie – is also not keen on kids.
The fussy puss doesn’t like other animals either.
She has been desperate for an owner for the last 11 months.

But the black and white feline is a bit contrary because she only wants to live with adult women.
RSPCA staff who have been looking after her did find someone to take her in.

But they had to return Josie because they were allergic to her.
She is at the animal charity’s Great Ayton Animal Centre in Middlesbrough where she’s been since last March.

Cattery supervisor Beverley Dunn, said: “Josie has stolen our hearts here as she’s a real sweetie who just needs an understanding person to give her a special home.
“Unfortunately, we don’t know much about her past, but she seems to be petrified of men.
“And she’s also wary of young children and is thought to have been chased by them in the past.”

She added: “We’ve been working hard to gain her trust and she’ll now come over for a fuss.
“But then run off because she’s unsure what’s going to happen next.
“We think she’ll thrive in a quiet, preferably all female, household with no hustle and bustle.
“With patient people who are willing to let her settle on her own terms and invest the time into building a bond with her.
“We appreciate Josie has quite specific requirements but she’s had a rough time in the past.
“And we’re keen to make sure she finds the right home where we’re confident she’ll make someone a wonderful companion.”
