Cat Makes Harrowing Journey from Hamilton to Toronto

Toronto (July 28, 2006): The Toronto Humane Society is hoping the public can help find the guardians of a beautiful little cat – nicknamed Rambling Rose – that traveled from Hamilton to Toronto while wedged in a delivery truck’s wheel well.

Upon arrival in Toronto two days ago, the driver of the truck decided to fuel up at a garage. When he exited the truck he could hear a cat meowing under it. With the assistance of garage employee, Eric Aldred, the cat was removed from the wheel well, only to show her appreciation by immediately purring.

“It’s obvious this little cat was owned by someone,” said Aldred. “She has a collar with a little silver bell, she’s declawed and she’s so friendly.” Unfortunately, the cat’s collar contained no identifying tags, nor is she microchipped.

Rambling Rose is a white and brown tabby and approximately two years old. She is declawed and she may have been spayed. Upon initial examination, she appears to be in good health.

If anyone recognizes this sweet cat, they should contact The Toronto Humane Society immediately. If her owner is not found within the next few days, the Society will place the cat into its adoption program.

As a not-for-profit organization the Society is funded solely through charitable donations. Its mission is to promote the humane care and protection of all animals and to prevent cruelty and suffering.
