Missing cat reunited with owners three years after vanishing

It's been three long years since moggy Amber wandered off from her Erskine home.

But thanks to the Scottish SPCA, she's home again!

And it's a bit of news that might bring hope to the lives of any pet owners out there waiting on their own lost pal.

Scotland’s animal welfare charity reunited the wee cat with her delighted humans after receiving a call from a member of the public who was concerned about the welfare of a stray.

Scottish SPCA animal rescue officer Holly Bates said: “Once I collected the cat, she was scanned for a microchip which, thankfully, was registered to her owners.

“Amber was taken to our centre in Glasgow where she stayed until her owners were able to collect her and take her home.”

Amber was discovered in Stepps which is 19 miles from her home in Erskine.

Holly added: “Instances such as this prove as reminders as to why microchipping your cat is so important.

“If Amber had not been microchipped it is possible she may have never been reunited with her owners.

“It’s also important to keep your cat’s chip contact details up to date, even if they have been missing for an extended period.”
