Having recently lost a cat (Mr Stinks, a grey neutered tabby) in the Hangleton area, I was very sad to learn just how many cats actually go missing.

After posting hundreds of leaflets in my area, putting up posters and endless phone calls to vets, cat rescues and the council, I realised there are many desperate owners in my situation. So, if you see a poster or receive a leaflet through your door, please take a minute to read it before you bin it and check garages and outhouses.

You could make all the difference. If anyone has seen Mr Stinks in or around Hangleton please call 01273 325761 or 0781 731 2882 anytime.
