Robin was brought into the centre as a stray, he was found wandering the car park at Tesco's in Ryde. He had a collar on but no micro-chip. We checked our lost cat records but nothing matched up. No one reported a cat of that description missing either. If it wasn't for the fact that we spotted this ad on Wightbay he would have been re-homed by now.
The real message here is that if your cat goes missing please report it to us here at the centre. Also ring round the local vets, the RSPCA and other animal charities on the Island. You can also make up flyers and posters. This will prevent this situation from happening again. It also goes to show what a useful tool Wightbay can be. Although sometimes regrettably Wightbay is used for the wrong reasons. Ads selling animals are often found on this website.
The people that reserved him are now going to choose another cat. Robin whose real name turned out to the Bear has gone back to his owner tonight. They live in Cowes so it's anyone's guess as to how Bear got to Ryde in the first place. A happy ending at least.
