An unlucky elderly cat who has been abandoned TWICE is now looking for a new owner.
Judy, a brown and white tabby cat, is an impressive 16-years-old – or 80 in human years.
The average lifespan for a cat is 12 to 18 years.

But Judy has spent the last 198 days of her life looking for a cosy new retirement home, as reported by What’s The Jam.
Her first owner could no longer care for her.
Judy was rehomed but her second owners left her behind when they moved house.
Sadly, she was then found as a stray and taken to a vet in Birchington, near Margate, Kent
The vet contacted the RSPCA who have made it their mission to find Judy a loving new home.
They are looking for a new owner who doesn’t have any other cats or dogs as Judy likes to be the only animal in the house.

But she could live with families who have primary school aged children or older, and although she will likely spend more time inside, she would like access to some outdoor space.
Judy will also need an owner who will be around a good part of the day to keep her company.
Hannah White, from the RSPCA Isle of Thanet branch, said: “Sadly, Judy’s owner could no longer keep her and so they re-homed her to what they thought was a loving, new home but unfortunately, the new owners moved away and left poor Judy behind.

”She was found straying and taken to a vet who then contacted the RSPCA for help.
”It’s a heartbreaking story, especially for a senior cat like Judy.”
Hannah added: “She’s certainly the boss of reception now – even letting us know to move her into patches of sun whilst she’s snoozing on her very own desk chair.
“She’s been with us for many months where she has proven to be an absolutely wonderful cat who loves human company.
”She is a sweet and gentle soul who appreciates the best things in life; long and cosy snoozes, sunbathing, watching the world go by, company and essential strokes and fuss.
”We are all very much smitten with Judy, but we would really love for her to be able to retire from her reception duties and live out her remaining years in a sun patch at home.”
