Cat found

Yvonne from Birchville

Hi everyone I’m looking to reach out to you all. At 10.30 pm last night Sat 1st December I was driving down Fergusson drive from Upper Hutt towards Trentham.
Just before I past McHardie Street I saw a cat lying on the side of the road. I pulled over to find this absolutely gorgeous and well looked after ginger cat injured. I can only assume hit by a car and left 😡. We scooped him/her up and myself and my husband rang around to find an emergency vet to take him/her too but unfortunately on route he/she passed away. I just can stop thinking that a family out there will be wondering where the gorgeous cat has gone and I wanted to reach out to see if anyone knows of anyone in the Trentham area who can’t find their cat.
If you do please do let me know all I can say is their cat was not alone when he/she passed I was cuddling him/her in my arms talking and kissing him/her.
