Update from the owner: 

“I am pleased to confirm that the ‘small grey cat’ missing from Great Baddow, has been returned to our family.

“She was missing for 8 days and was found in a neighbour’s shed. She is recovering well and back on her medication.”

Original message:

A small grey and white cat has gone missing from its home on New Road.

The cat has no collar but is chipped. She is a very timid and shy cat and also on medication so time is precious.

If you see a stray cat anywhere in the area (there was a reported sighting in Isaac Square) please call 01245 476012 or 07792 38350.

Please check your gardens, garages and sheds.
