Happy ending for a stray cat.
Hello neighbours,
I just wanted to shout out to those that stopped to aid the cat that was on the road on Ngaio gorge road this morning. Appreciate the assist. After visiting the After hours Clinic he was deemed to be in reasonably good health bar an abscess, a few scratches, bites and what not. Apparently not hit by a car (at least 1 of the 9 lives for sure!)
We have for the better part of roughly 7 years been keeping an eye on & looking after him... (as an out door cat as we have our own~strictly indoors)...and we're glad we did because he will now be reunited with his family.
The owner has been notified & they will be reunited. It has been around 10 YEARS or so.
He has had quite the journey over the years & believe his roaming days are done, ready for the family life again.
To the owner; He does have a few belongings If you'd like to pick them up; Feeding dishes, shelter & whatnot.
Call/text; 0297719913 & we'll sort something out.
Cheers guys!
~John
