Cat taken from Orewa by mistake - read the story

Pamela from Stanmore Bay

PLEASE HELP US FIND HIS FAMILY.

This is the face of a miracle belonging to an almost unbelievable story of survival.

On Tuesday 5th of June, a man drove nearly 5 hours from Auckland to New Plymouth, making no stops on the way. But what he didn’t know was that this beautiful cat was hiding in the grill space on the very front of the car and hanging on so hard he lost claws...

The cat wasn’t discovered until the car was parked outside a New Plymouth hotel where passers by saw him and alerted staff who contacted North Taranaki SPCA. Our SPCA Inspectors then rushed him to Vets4Pets New Plymouth.

He was in severe shock and hypothermic - it was touch and go initially, but thankfully he is now eating, drinking and totally unconcerned about being at the vets. We are so happy he made it!

BUT now we NEED to find his family. There were no stops during the car drive so he is from Auckland, possibly Glenfield. If you recognise him please contact North Taranaki's SPCA Centre by calling them on 06 7582053 and please SHARE this post ...let’s get this incredible kitty back home! <3
