AN animal support charity is appealing for a loving home for a cat whose owner has died.

The Darlington branch of the National Animal Sanctuary Support League is looking for a new owner for 12-year-old Mac.

He is said to be "heartbroken" by the loss of his old owner, but Pauline Wilson from the charity is confident he would quickly settle into a new home.

Anyone who can help is asked to call the charity on 01325-321855 or 07748-268-822.
