A MISSING cat has turned up safe and well after the owner was inundated with calls following a plea in the Shuttle/Times & News.

Owner, Sharon Gibson, feared Ruby, the oriental Havana, may have jumped into a car or even on to a canal boat when he disappeared from his home in Wolverley.

She received several calls from people reporting sightings but it was a call from Heathfield School in response to a "missing" poster that came up trumps and Mrs Gibson, of Mill Lane, found him in the school grounds.

"I want to say thank you to everyone - if it hadn't been for their sharp eyes I would never have known where to look," she said.
