Kit Kardashian needs a home

A big bottomed cat from Surrey is looking for a permanent home after her owner sadly died. Dubbed 'Kit Kardashian' because of her very large behind, nine-year-old Phoebe is currently in foster care at Blue Cross until she fi nds a new home. She currently weighs 8.4kg and will need to stick to a special diet programme to reduce her weight - and her rear. Blue Cross has quoted Phoebe as saying: "I'm a very sweet girl, but these cheeky Blue Cross people have nicknamed me Kit Kardashian because my bottom is a bit too big! They have put me on a weight reducing diet to help me feel more comfortable - it's not what I've been used too but I feel much better for it already and have been learning how to play so that I exercise too. My foster carer tries to take my mind off my food by playing with me and stroking and combing me - all of which I love! I am looking forward to fi nding a new home, with an owner who will continue to help me reduce my weight. I would probably be better if I lived as an only cat as this is what I have been used to, and also it would mean that there wouldn't be any other food around for me to help myself too. I like exploring in the garden so would really like a garden in my new home." If you would like to meet Phoebe or want to know more about her, telephone 0300 777 1929. April 2015 LIVING WITHIN 13

The remaining properties are exceptional family homes featuring striking elevations, high ceilings, luxurious specification and elegant areas for entertaining and relaxing. The red brick and stone façade offers a warm welcome to these spectacular homes, which really tick all the boxes. Ian Sloan, Sales and Marketing Director for Antler Homes, says: “We’ve had lots of interest at The Lyntons and are delighted to have reserved the showhome at this intimate development of just three homes. “The feedback we have had from viewers has been fantastic and I would encourage anyone looking for a stunning home in an exceptional location to make an appointment to view our showhome – open Friday to Sunday between 10am and 5pm. “The remaining two homes, plots one and two, are still under construction but will be ready for summer occupation.” Antler Homes has been building strictly limited edition homes in handpicked locations across England and the Channel Islands for the last 30 years. The Lyntons is no exception and gives the opportunity to live in one of the best addresses in Ascot and still be within reach of London and the M3 and M25.
