A cute unwanted cat with a squashed face is desperate for a new home.
The black and white moggy – called Hugo – is struggling to find an owner because of his mysterious deformity.
It has left his eyes and nose close together.
He was adopted six years ago as a stray kitten but has been handed back to the RSPCA.

An RSPCA spokesperson said: “The RSPCA in Suffolk is hoping to find a loving forever home for a cat with an unusual facial deformity.
“Who sadly was returned to the charity after being adopted six years ago.
“Little is known about Hugo’s history so the centre does not know the cause of his facial deformity.
“However, they believe this is something he was born with, and thankfully, it doesn’t cause him any issues.”
Donna Rich, the cattery supervisor at RSPCA Martlesham, added: “If anything, his perfectly imperfect look just adds to his brilliant character.
“Since Hugo was returned to us in November, we have been desperate to find him a loving home where he will feel calm and confident.
“Hugo is a gentle and sweet-natured cat who deserves his second chance at happiness.”
Donna added: “He is super sweet and affectionate and loves having people around him and getting as much fuss as he can.
“However, he is quite a sensitive soul and finds certain things in the world scary which results in him toileting in inappropriate places as he feels the need to defend himself.”
