A MUSTACHIOED kitten which resembles the famous sleuth Poirot is hoping to solve a mystery of her own and find a new fur-ever home.
Four-month-old kitten Tasha was found wandering the streets as a stray, with an injury to her eye but has now recovered at the RSPCA’s Birmingham Animal Centre in Frankley.
The black and white fur on Tasha’s face resembles the handlebar moustache which is the trademark of Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, the star of Murder on the Orient Express which is in cinemas now.
Emma Finnimore, cattery supervisor at Birmingham Animal Centre, said: “With the film big in the cinemas right now, Poirot seems to be everywhere and more so at our animal centre, in the form of a kitten!
“We don’t get many cats in with these sort of markings, so Tasha is certainly very special.
“When she came to us she had an injured eye and she was very timid, but gradually she has discovered the joy of being fussed and has started to enjoy cuddles.
“Now that has relaxed she likes to play a lot and is curious about any moving object – she certainly likes to investigate, just like her detective doppelganger.
“Her unusual looks certainly caught the eye of visitors to the centre and she has been quickly reserved, however we have so many cats at our centre looking for a new home so we urge anyone looking for a feline friend to pop into the centre and have a look at our gorgeous cats.”
Anyone who is interested in adopting a cat from RSPCA’s Birmingham Animal Centre can call 0300 123 8585 or pop into the centre, in Frankley Green, between 11am and 3.15pm each day except Tuesday.
