A cat “prone to abscesses” who went missing from a cattery in Walesby – causing staff to worry about his whereabouts – has safely returned by following a food trail laid out by rescue volunteers.

Paddy, a two-year-old silver tabby, went missing from The Firs Luxury Boarding Cattery in Walesby on Friday, January 20.

The cat has since returned home days later by following a food trail left out by rescue volunteers.

Lisa Dean, at Beauty’s Legacy, a charity helping to find and reunite lost pets with their owners, launched the appeal and is ‘thrilled’ Paddy is home.

She said: “Hundreds of posters out yesterday and we poured the magic fishy gravy around the boundary of the property – hoping he would pick up the scent. Great news, he came home and is now safe.

“He was captured on the site’s CCTV, following the food trail home.”

Paddy returned home on Sunday, January 22.
