STAFF at a Durham veterinary practice are used to having the occasional cat left in a cardboard box on their doorstep.
But on Monday morning, Vets 4 Pets at Framwellgate Moor received a surprise package. For although a cat had been abandoned, this time it was left in a new basket complete with a blanket. The adult tortoiseshell female has been well looked after and has a friendly nature. "We are all a bit mystified," said veterinary nurse Rachel Smith.
Anyone who knows anything about the cat or would like more information can telephone Vets 4 Pets on (0191) 383 0555.
