A wild kitten loves strokes and being brushed, thanks to plenty of loving care in his foster home.
Crocket, the black and white kitten, is the latest feline looking for a forever home through The Scratching Post in Stratford.
Trustee Karma Andrews says Crocket and his three sisters were rescued from a reserve where they had been free roaming.
The four tiny kittens went to foster homes where, Karma says, they have learned to be friendly and content house cats.
Crocket is now spending some of his time at The Scratching Post, hoping to be matched with the perfect family. As his foster home included other cats and dogs, he is used to other animals.
