VOLUNTEERS from Gwent Cats Protection are trying to find the owner of a handsome black cat who was trapped in Abergavenny by a member.

The volunteer was trying to catch an unneutered tomcat in Penypound who had been terrorising feline pets in the area, as well as spraying in the owners’ houses.

Having caught the tame black cat, which was neutered and microchipped, she took him to the vet in Abergavenny where staff left messages for the registered owner.

Posters have been placed in Abergavenny asking for help in tracking down his owner. He is now being cared for by one of the charity’s fosterers.

Glynis Davies, Gwent branch co-ordinator said, "We are anxious to reunite him with his owner but if we can’t track her down we will eventually have to rehome him. He is a lovely cat so we are trying to give him a happy ending."

If you know who owns the cat please ring the CP Helpline on 0345 3712747.
