Kent's homeless cats are all dressed up with nowhere to go during prom season.
Long frocks and limousines are gracing schools across the county to mark Prom season but the feline residents of Battersea Dogs & Cats Home at Brands Hatch are waiting to be whisked away to their fairytale forever home.
Mossy and Mushka,got and booted to show off their charming sides in the hope that they may find their very own purrfect date. The pair are just two of around 13 older cats desperately wanting to leave the rescue centre for a loving new home.
Blue-eyed Mossy, a white domestic short hair, has just marked his 120th day at Brands Hatch.
Mossy
Originally a stray, Mossy is back at the rescue centre for a second time after his recent owners returned him due to a change in their circumstances.
Persian cat Mushka is 17-years-old and was crowned most handsome at Battersea’s cat prom.

Michelle Bevan, Rehoming and Welfare Manager of Battersea Brands Hatch, said: "This time of year is known as ‘kitten season’ when hundreds of unwanted kittens end up at rescue centres like Battersea either as strays or when owners have not had their pets neutered, so it’s easy for people to overlook the older cats in our care such as Mossy and Mushka.
"Kittens are adorable but need constant attention and are very demanding whereas older cats are calmer, cleaner and more independent.
"Our older feline chaps look very charismatic in their bow ties and have a lot to offer.
TOP STORIES:
"You will always know what you’re getting with an older cat and Mossy and Mushka will make great companions for someone.
