We’ve had a cat brought into our Opotiki clinic this afternoon. Found on Ford Street, near Union Street. He is quite sick and we really need to find his owners.

Male, desexed, black shorthair, an older boy. He is microchipped but unfortunately the chip isn’t in our system or registered on NZCAR.

Please get in touch with the clinic ASAP if you think he may be yours.
