A family lost their cats after they escaped from a cattery hours before they were due to be collected. Chloe Patterson, 24, of Shepshed, had been on holiday in Majorca with her family and left the two family cats in Cats at Ratcliffe Luxury Cat Hotel in Eastwood, but they escaped on Friday, July 15.
Chloe said: "We were on holiday and we usually use a cattery in Leicester that they know and like but it was full, so we looked for one of a similar quality and I found one in Eastwood. They were there for a week whilst we went to Majorca, and then when we came back my mum and sister went to collect the cats but as they turned up the cattery owner came out in tears saying that they had gone."
The family were told by the owner that she had been carrying the cats in a cat carrier from the bottom of the garden where the enclosure is to the top of the house. The cat carrier door must not have been shut properly and the two cats burst out before running away and over the fence.
