THE Blue Cross animal adoption centre in West End is appealing for owners who think their cats are lost to get in touch as they believe many cats in the rehoming centre belong to people.

Many cats are brought into the centre by people who have found them wandering the streets and staff can tell they have been owned by the condition they are in and how they react to people.

Even though the charity advertises these cats in the lost and found section of local papers, few people come forward to claim their pets.

To help combat this problem, the centre is holding a subsidised microchipping day on Friday to ensure that more cats and their owners are reunited.

Deputy centre manager Lara Alford said: "We get a lot of cats in who might well love to go back home, but no one ever comes looking for them. We would ask anyone who has lost a cat recently to get in touch."
