A missing pet cat has been found in the Orkney Islands – more than 600 miles from her home in England. Little black cat Dexter disappeared from Ledbury, Herefordshire, in early October.
But she has turned up in Scotland’s Northern Isles after appearing to hitch a ride with a travelling fairground. Dexter’s owners, Geoff and Shannon Smith, launched a search after she failed to return home and thought she may have been hiding in a house nearby.
They posted an appeal on social media and set humane traps in a bid to bring Dexter home as a number of sightings were reported in various parts of Ledbury.
