MEOWY CHRISTMAS - It’s A Cat-Mis Miracle!

On 13th December 2021 Katie’s cat, 'Jon Snow', went missing from Rosebud. Apparently, 'Jon Snow' knows nothing about finding his way home as he didn’t come home that night.
Katie feared the worst as the days went on, with no sign of her beloved cat.
Fast forward 2 years (almost to the day!!!), and 125kms later, 'Jon Snow' was found by a kind stranger and handed in to Bass Coast Shire Council where they were reunited!
Thanks to Katie keeping the microchip details up to date, she had a teary reunion with her boy, and he gets to spend Christmas back with his family!
