Cat found on the road :-)

Cherie from Pukete

This morning while I was on my way to work on Totara Drive a small greyish cat (probably about 6-8 months old) ran out onto the road into oncoming traffic. A car had hit it but they didn't stop, they may not have been aware they had hit it. Anyway I stopped and another lady stopped. … View more
Hi there,
This morning while I was on my way to work on Totara Drive a small greyish cat (probably about 6-8 months old) ran out onto the road into oncoming traffic. A car had hit it but they didn't stop, they may not have been aware they had hit it. Anyway I stopped and another lady stopped. We picked up the cat from the road and put it in a blanket and it is now at Hamilton Vets if it is yours. So sad 😔
