Johnny is settling into his new home, with help from Susie Phillips and Rachael Ashton

Volunteers at Shropshire Cat Rescue in Bayston Hill have thanked members of the public for their generous contributions to building Johnny a new home, after they met their target in just four days.

Three-year-old Johnny came to Shropshire Cat Rescue in June from another rescue which was struggling to find him the home that he needed.

Volunteers say his desire to be outside meant he was becoming increasingly stressed - he started to overgroom and was breaking out of his fosterer's home to be outside.
