A mum told how her autistic son broke down in tears after being reunited with his "lifeline".
Sheila Murphy said her son Ellis, 15, was "distraught" after his therapy cat, Simba, disappeared on Friday, April 7. After sharing a post on Facebook, Sheila soon discovered Simba was stuck approximately 50ft up a tree near a train depot in Allerton, close to Liverpool South Parkway station.
The 51-year-old, from Allerton, said she struggled to access the area which was surrounded by railings and brambles, until a group of kind strangers pulled together to help her.
