A stowaway cat managed to travel 170 miles between Liverpool and Bristol after hiding in the engine of a Parcelforce van. Zetland Veterinary Group is now trying to reunite the cat with its owner after the pet miraculously survived the journey. After he was discovered, the van driver managed to encourage him out of the engine and brought him in to the vets. The cat, who is estimated to be between 12 to 14 weeks old was brought to the vets on July 28. He has cream and brown markings and is believed to be a ragdoll breed. He is too young to be microchipped, which may make a reunion with his owner more difficult. Miacarlla Harrison, who works for Parcelforce said: ‘Once I found a vet that was willing to look after him ragdoll cat price

If no one comes forward as the owner the vets will have to put him up for adoption. ‘We need to give it a bit more time to potentially reach the owner, probably for about seven days and then we will look to rehome him,’ she added. Vikki said her team had never experienced anything like this before with an animal travelling such a long distance. She continued: ‘We do reunite cats quite often with their owners who have been missing for months and years, which is why it’s so important to microchip your cat. ‘That’s how we’re able to reunite them.

The cat, who has cream and brown markings and is believed to be a ragdoll breed, was taken to Zetland Veterinary Group in Redland on Thursday (July 28) evening to be assessed by a vet and checked for a microchip.
