A lorry driver discovered a cat in the back of his lorry after driving hundreds of miles from England to Scotland.
The vehicle began its journey in Barnsley then travelled to North Berwick, Edinburgh, Kirkcaldy, Dundee, Perth, and Glasgow, before the driver discovered the cat on board at Bridge of Weir.
It is not known exactly where the cat got on board, but the Scottish SPCA believe he may be domesticated due to its timid nature.
The animal charity were handed the cat and it is now safe at one of their rescue centres, where staff have named him Maverick.
They are also now making an appeal for his owners to come forward.
Scottish SPCA centre manager, Judy Button, said, “The cat is a tabby and white coloured male, who we have named Maverick!
“There’s no way to know which stop he got on the lorry at, he could have come from anywhere.
“Maverick is extremely nervous, so we have been unable to get close enough to locate a microchip.
“His nervousness leads us to think he is a housecat, but we are unsure as he could have gotten in to the lorry while he was exploring as an outdoor cat. Either way we are sure someone will be missing him.
“Thankfully Maverick is now safe at our centre, but we are desperate to find his owner.
“If anyone who recognises this cat, or has any information, please contact our confidential animal helpline on 03000 999 999.”
