Dear Sirs I would be grateful if you could assist us in locating our missing Cat - Korky is a chocolate- brown (often mistakenly called black!) Semi-long haired cat. He is a one year old neutered torn he is micro- chipped and registered at Roker Park Vets in Seaham. He was wearing a blue collar with his ID and micro-chip tag. He went out into the garden at about 6:30am on Monday 7th May (Our house is surrounded by fields) and he never returned for his breakfast which is totally out of character. We have placed adverts in the local paper (Sunderland Echo) and received a few calls from areas close by but all have proved fruitless. We have also put up missing posters around the village and the neighbouring villages. I have send out about 50 letters to animal rescue centres and vets in the area. We are out every night with food containers shaking them madly around the numerous paths in the area - (No doubt we will end up with an ASBO for either making to much noise or fly posting!). Many thanks Elaine Matterson
