Isabella will leave big paws to fill but now the charity are hoping somebody will adopt her, despite her aged years - which is the equivalent of 126-years-old in human years. Isabella became

part of the RSPCA team when her owner died and although a family member took her in, their circumstances changed unexpectedly which meant they were unable to keep her anymore. Emily Mayer,

an animal care assistant at the Thanet branch said: "At 18-years-old old Isabella is in her twilight years and she is adored by everyone who meets her. "She loves to be around

people, being cuddled on their lap or being groomed. "She is currently living in reception as she has become our unofficial greeter and she gets lots of attention there but we would

really like to see her live her retirement days in a home where she can feel special every day." The golden oldie has high blood pressure and is on daily medication but the animal

centre says they'll cover the cost for this if someone takes her in. Emily said: "Ideally, we would like to find a quiet home for her but we will take it on a case by case basis,

as always. "The RSPCA never gives up on golden oldies and the Thanet branch is no exception, having recently re-homed a 12-year-old diabetic cat called Harry and a 16-year-old duo Chloe

and Malibu. "They may be older but they still have so much love to give." Cat experts Purina say that there's no reliable scientific way to calculate the relationship between

human and cat years, but it's generally agreed that the first two years of a cat's life are roughly equal to the first 25 of a human's. After this, each additional year is

around four 'cat years'. The oldest recorded cat was a 38-year-old moggie from Texas called Creme Puff and recently, a cat thought to possibly be the oldest living, celebrated its

birthday in style. Rubble, who turned 30 on June 1st, is from Exeter and going strong despite taking daily medication for high blood pressure.
