Cat that vanished at a UK service station has been found living there - seven months later

A cat that vanished at a motorway service station during a family stop has been found still living there - seven months later.

Two-year-old cat Millie leapt free from her cat basket while her owners Shaun Ore, 56, and Pauline Dearing, 42 stopped at Gloucester Services last June.

The frantic couple spent nine hours searching the service station for their beloved pet, before leaving to continuing their journey.

But this week they were contacted by Louise Davies from Animals Lost and Found in Gloucestershire (Alfig) to say the cat had been found by staff at the services.

Pauline said: "She was just Millie, I gave her a big cuddle and she went belly up in my arms."

Shaun said: "I was a bit wary if she might bite but she was normal when she saw us, she's gone back to her old sort of ways.

"To survive on the M5 is just amazing."
