A homeless cat with a large derriere is searching for a new home under the nickname Kit Kardashian.

Surrey Comet:

Nine-year-old Phoebe's owner died and she is currently in a Blue Cross foster care home in Cobham.

Given the nickname in honour of the TV reality star due to her bountiful bottom, Phoebe needs to shed some weight to take her down from 8.4kg.

In a message on the website to potential new owners, Phoebe said: "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 to but I feel much better for it already and have been learning how to play so that I can exercise too."

Blue Cross hope that her distinguishing feature, although soon to be reduced, will help Phoebe find a new home.
