Look, it’s Charlie Cat-lin!
With a tiny black moustache, sticking-up hair and a comedic, pigeon-toed stance, this moggy’s a copycat for slapstick legend Charlie Chaplin.
But, despite her film star looks, Charlie, seven, is struggling to find a home.

Charlie has been at the Wood Green animal centre, in Godmanchester, Cambridgeshire, since July, but visitors seem to prefer tabbies or ginger cats.
Staff nicknamed her ‘the little fuzzy tramp’ because her sticky-up hair reminding them of Chaplin’s character in 1915 film The Tramp.
The film star feline had been covered in lesions all over her shoulders and back when she first came to the animal centre, but is ‘much better’ now.
Spot the difference: The real Charlie Chaplin (Picture: Rex)
Charlie’s great with children and would love a family, said carer Christina Lines.
‘She is really friendly and great with children and she would make a lovely addition to someone’s family,’ she said.
‘Everyone wants a perfect-looking cat like ones you see on the adverts. Black and white and all black cats are the hardest to rehome.
‘If Charlie was a tabby or ginger I could have rehomed her ten times by now.’

Little known factoid....Chaplin had a big attraction to cats....or was it....big cats had an attraction to Chaplin? :(
I hope this charming moggie finds a home he deserves.
