Scottish SPCA staff have named her Laurie
Last updated 13th Oct 2017
Animal rescue staff are looking for the owner of a brave cat who hitched a lift to Kilmarnock on the back of a lorry - all the way from Liverpool.
The Scottish SPCA were alerted after she hopped out of the back of the truck when it arrived at a garage in the town.
Sheena MacTaggart from the charity said, “Billy from ATS Garage gave me a call to say that a cat had stowed away on a delivery truck that had just arrived.
“When I arrived at the garage the team had very kindly given her the run of the office to keep her safe and out of harm’s way.
“After a bit of digging about we found that the vehicle she’d arrived in had come non-stop from Liverpool. As she’s not microchipped we have no way of contacting her owners, but we’re sure someone is missing her!
“We’ve called her Laurie for the time being as a nod to her long trip from home, and she’s currently being looked after at our Glasgow Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre.
“It’s not every day that I get a call like this, but I hope it can end on a happy note and we can get her back home.”
