Desperate bid to track down owners of a cat found in the back of a lorry

The Scottish SPCA is desperately trying to find the owner of a cat discovered in the back of a delivery lorry.

The tabby and white coloured male cat was found in the back of lorry that had travelled across the country before stopping at Bridge of Weir on June 14.

The lorry began its journey in Barnsley in England, then travelled to North Berwick, Edinburgh, Kirkcaldy, Dundee, Perth, and Glasgow before reaching its final stop.

The cat, who has been named Maverick, is in the care of the Scottish SPCA while his owners are hopefully tracked down.

Scottish SPCA centre manager, Judy Button, said, “The cat is a tabby and white coloured male, who we have named Maverick!

“There’s no way to know which stop he got on the lorry at, he could have come from anywhere.

“Maverick is extremely nervous, so we have been unable to get close enough to locate a microchip.

“His nervousness leads us to think he is a housecat, but we are unsure as he could have gotten in to the lorry while he was exploring as an outdoor cat. Either way we are sure someone will be missing him.

“Thankfully Maverick is now safe at our centre, but we are desperate to find his owner.

“If anyone who recognises this cat, or has any information, please contact our confidential animal helpline on 03000 999 999.”
