Animal health officers at Bridgend County Borough Council are appealing for help to solve a moggy mystery.
When officers picked up a stray cat in North Cornelly they carried out the usual checks for a micro chip in an attempt to reunite it with its owner.
But while they found a chip, they could not link it to any UK database – and after further investigation discovered the cat had actually been chipped over 2,000 miles away in Cyprus.
Unfortunately the records don’t reveal who the foreign feline, dubbed ‘Cypuss’, belongs to – so officers are appealing for any information about him.
Helen Picton, head of Bridgend Trading Standards, said: “Cypuss is a very cute, grey and white, neutered male who is approximately two or three years old, but that’s as much as we know.
“He’s only young but he has obviously had a really well-travelled life so far. We would love to find out more about him and even reunite him with his owner.
“Unfortunately, because we don’t know when he entered the UK he has had to go into quarantine at a local cattery, so if anyone has any information about him, please come forward.”
Can you solve the mystery of Cypuss? Please call Bridgend County Borough Council’s Animal Health department on 01656 643479.
