HE FOUND FAME on the hallowed turf of Anfield and has since carved out quite a following on Twitter but the story of the Anfield Cat is not over yet. He needs a new home.
Having captured the imagination of Kopites and football fans with his brief cameo during the Liverpool – Spurs game at Anfield just over a week ago, the cat formerly known as ‘Kenny’ has since ended up at an animal rescue centre in the Merseyside suburb of Formby.
Now named after another famous Liverpool boss, the legendary Bill Shankly, the tabby is in residence Freshfield’s Animal Rescue Centre in Formby.
‘Shankly’ has undergone medical treatment and is being cared for by staff after seemingly roaming wild around the streets of Liverpool before finding fame at Anfield. Staff are now hoping to find him a suitable home.
It has been established that ‘Shankly’ was curled up inside cones in Anfield before he emerged onto the field 11 minutes into the Premier League game last week. He forced the game to be halted briefly before he scampered off the field.
“He’s just an adorable gentleman to be honest, he’s so lovely,” Freshfield’s assistant Kathryn Gibbs told LFC TV.

Meanwhile, ‘Shankly’ continues to amass quite the following on Twitter where nearly 60,000 people are now following his tweets about football and his own status.
“So people are trying to find me a new place to live? has anyone asked chelsea? they kindly took Torres of our hands,” he tweeted earlier this week.
Agents are ruining socer
@ClydaMan: agreed…this is the type of VERMIN that needs to be expunged from the landscape…
@ClydaMan: lost interest when the agent actually said he was interested in ” his client’s ” wellbeing….its a joke now ,the whole sad mess…football ruined by idiots who cant handke these parasites
This man was Berahino’s agent. He used the same “bullying/someone at the club has an issue with my client/ we just want to be happy” routine to agitate for a move for him for two years, and look what’s happened since: he’s gone from young free scoring Premier league prospect to a free transfer to a Belgian midtable club’s bench in his mid twenties.
Wise up, Duncan. He’ll ruin you too.
@James Doyle: is that where Berahino has disappeared to?
@Johnny 5: yep, Zulte Waregem.
So basically, agent wants him to leave, kid doesn’t get his way, stays in his room for days like a child. Gerrard should go round and sort him out. An embarrassment to the family, club and hard working young soccer players in general.
Mad how entitled some of these kids seem before even playing a senior game. He’s been very poorly advised.
Out and out Scouser, has it in his blood, hard to imagine he hasn’t been badly advised. Carragher is right, he should get his head down.
That Agent is an absolute Rat. If Bobby has any sense he’ll sack him. No doubt agent filling his head with ideas above his station. Does he think he’s entitled to first team football ahead of “that” Liverpool front 3? Will have to bide his time like Trent, Gomez etc had to.
