I look after the lost & found register for my local Cats protection.
This evening I had a call from another Cats protection volunteer to say she had just brought in an elderly siamese cat. She had taken him to the vets to be checked & left him in overnight. I said I would get the wheels in motin for finding the owners.
Then..... when my husband came in from the garden, I told him about the found cat & I said he should listen out incase anyone has lost him. (My hubby works for the council & works in Stourbridge where the cat was found) .... he replied that he saw that very cat last week at a house nearby the road he was found. I phoned the CP lady back & she went round to the house where John said he had seen the cat last week.
When she arrived, she was met by a child shouting the cats name & crying, when the CP lady spoke to the people there - it was their cat. They were terribly worried.
What a result!!
Well done Mr Smudgley.
