Leon and Nikita found themselves in the care of RSPCA's Northamptonshire Branch at the grand age of 21. They are bonded brothers and were signed over to be rehomed as they were not coping with family life.

"Due to their age, we are keen to get these lovely boys settled into a new home asap," the RSPCA wrote in a Facebook post.

"Leon and Nikita are an affectionate pair who enjoy chin tickles and human company. They are looking for a quiet home with no children."

The animal shelter said they were inundated with hundreds of offers from all over the world.

"We have had over 100 applications for them from all over the place, from America, Cornwall and Cumbria," said Julie Clifft of the RSPCA Northamptonshire Branch.

After sorting through the hundreds of applicants, Leon and Nikita have found a new forever home, the Daily Mail reported.
