A friendly feline is hoping to find his forever home.
Seven-year-old Spud is a ginger and white cat currently being cared for by the RSPCA Basingstoke and Andover branch.
He has been described as affectionate and enjoys attention, but also loves spending time outdoors, so he will need a home with a garden and access to safe outdoor space.

The RSPCA has said he would be best suited to a quiet road and would prefer to be the only pet in the household.
He can live with children aged 10 and above, and the branch has asked that prospective adopters live within 30 miles of Basingstoke.
The RSPCA Basingstoke and Andover branch focuses on rehoming animals and promoting responsible pet ownership.
A spokesperson for the branch said: "Fostering can be a highly rewarding experience which also enables us to provide our animals with a temporary loving home whilst we find them their new owner.
"We need foster homes for all sorts of reasons and lengths of time."
The branch relies on public donations and fundraising to continue its work.
In addition to rehoming, it offers limited financial assistance and promotes responsible pet ownership through emergency neutering and microchipping campaigns.
Not everyone is able to rehome a pet permanently, but the RSPCA says fostering is a valuable alternative that gives animals a safe and caring environment while they wait for their forever home.
Foster homes are needed for a variety of animals and for different lengths of time, depending on individual circumstances.
Spud is looking for a permanent home and comes with a minimum adoption fee of £140.
Anyone interested in adopting Spud and who meets the branch’s criteria is asked to complete an online application form and email it to the RSPCA Basingstoke and Andover branch.
If rehoming an animal isn’t possible, those interested in supporting the RSPCA can consider donating or fostering as other ways to help animals in need.
