This little lady went missing on Saturday from Ashdale Road in Hindley. Fully black but with a small brown bit on her tail. She is only quite small and very anxious so could well be hiding (please check sheds if they have been left open over the weekend). She isn't wearing a collar but is microchipped. Any information please contact the Hindley team on 01942 522999 or email [email protected]

Missing cat - MINNIE - 10 years old

* REWARD WILL BE OFFERED *

I WANT MY BABY HOME 🙏

Missing since Wednesday 11th December 2024

ASPULL, WIGAN

She is very timid and this is very usual for her to be gone this long with it being so cold. She will only usually come to me and a selected few so she will be scared.

She has unusual markings as shown in the pictures. She is chipped.

We live at the bottom of St Mary's Road, Aspull, Wigan (behind the residential home)

Please I am asking everyone * DO NOT FEED * my cat, she already has a loving home and we are all missing her like mad.

Please could you check all your gardens, sheds and garages and please if you do see her please let me know.

I have checked my ring door cam footage and a lot of delivery vans where about on this day so she could of easily got into one of these and been dropped off anywhere so please share my post.

Thank you and I'm praying that she will return home soon 🙏

Contact us at [email protected] if you know of her whereabouts

The weeks surrounding Halloween can present many potential hazards to pets, including the consumption of Halloween chocolates and sweets. The primary toxins in chocolate are theobromine and caffeine, although the concentration of theobromine is 3-10 times greater than that of caffeine. While many are aware of the danger chocolate poses to dogs, the same danger to cats also applies. Other sweet treats, especially those containing xylitol, also pose a significant risk to dogs this season. The sugar alternative xylitol can be found in ‘sugar-free’ sweets, gum, chocolate, some peanut butters, and many more food items. Xylitol is well tolerated in cats and is not associated with the toxic effects seen in dogs. Please be careful over the next couple of weeks and beyond, while Halloween treats are still hanging around the home. Make sure all treats are out of the reach of pets. Should you dog or cat ingest any treats then please contact the surgery immediately informing of the type and quantity eaten including, if possible, manufacturer details so a tailored treatment plan can be given to patients.

With 7 weeks to the deadline, a third of cat owners in England are unaware their pet will be required by law to be microchipped! Contact us today to make an appointment!

Microchipping Your Pet
Did you know that you can be fined up to £500 if your dog is not microchipped or registered with accurate details.
Accurately microchipped dogs are 54% more likely to be reunited with their owners if they go missing.
All horses, ponies and donkeys in England, Wales and Scotland must be microchipped by law too.
It is thought that only 20% of rabbits in the UK are microchipped. Microchipping highly increases your chances of being reunited if they ever escape of get stolen.
In June this year it will become law in England that all cats are microchipped too - don't delay, request an appointment today by following the below link below:
