THE NATION has gone Harry Potty for Voldemog.

The ugly feline struggling to find a new home because he looks like the evil Lord Voldemort from the Harry Potter films has got cat lovers spellbound.

Since hitting the headlines yesterday the Blue Cross Centre in West End has received hundreds of calls from potential owners, with one calling from as far as America. And today Charlie, who had to have his ears and nose removed after suffering from skin cancer, will meet the lady who managed to reserve him first.

If it’s the purr-fect match, then Charlie could find himself settling into a new loving home within days.

The 14-year-old domestic shorthaired cat was living as a stray before a woman adopted him, fed him and took him to the vet for surgery.

But when he failed to get along with her other animals, she was forced to take him to the centre, in Bubb Lane.

Joanna Toscano, from the Blue Cross, said: “The phones have been ringing all day asking about Charlie. He has really won the hearts of the nation. “We have one lady coming in to see him today and hopefully he will be enjoying life in his new home very soon.”
