Zeke’s ‘gotta bit of a problem’ and it’s got the whole city talking.

It’s not unusual for cats to be re-homed and it doesn’t usually make the headlines, but this particular feline has won the heart of folks in Leeds with his big purr-sonality. The 11 year old tabby went viral yesterday when his owners sent out a rather unique poster in their search to find him a new home.

Anna and Ben Bateson have been forced to give up Zeke because he doesn’t get along with their other cat, Dexter. But why give up Zeke, you might ask? Well, Dexter has chronic kidney failure (Zeke thinks he’s faking it) and he needs special care, whereas Zeke is a happy, healthy feline with loads to offer his new owners.

He’s the kind of cat that likes snuggling up on the sofa with three hour films like Shawshank Redemption, that will ‘sit on your lap and love you to bits’ and he comes with a ‘marvellous purr’ (if he does say so himself). So if you’re on the lookout for a new cat, or if Zeke has won your heart, as he has many others, why not do the fella a solid and welcome him into your home?

You can contact Anna and Ben on anna.bateson@yahoo.co.uk. They’re lovely, we’ve spoken to them, and they really just want to find Zeke a loving home – so don’t be shy.
