The world’s oldest cat has been rehomed with a new owner who is the same age.
Flossie was born in 1995 and has been recognised as the world’s oldest living cat by Guinness World Records. The rehoming announcement marks a turnaround in fortunes for Flossie, who was signed over to the Cats Protection charity in Kent last year after her previous owner was no longer able to keep such an elderly cat.
She was given a new lease of life when the charity matched her to a loving new home with Vicki Green of Orpington, who has experience caring for older cats. Vicki, who is 27 – the same age as her new pet – said: “I knew from the start that Flossie was a special cat, but I didn’t imagine I’d be sharing my home with a Guinness World Records title holder.
