Life was looking bleak for Rocket the cat after his owners were forced to abandon him as they fled the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
As he struggled to adapt to living on the streets of the devastated city of Irpin, he was hit by a car, badly injuring a back leg which later had to be amputated.
Today his life is very different - he lives peacefully in Birmingham and his favourite place to be is in the local pub with his new owner.
