A COUPLE have made a last ditch appeal for the return of their cat.

Ollie, a ginger tom cat with a small white spot on his chest, has been missing since its owners moved to Chilton in February.

Despite an extensive poster appeal and several advertisements no one has come forward.

Owner James King said: "He originally turned up at our back door when we lived in Darlington. He had an eye infection and a cold and was undernourished, so we took him in."

Three days after the couple moved to Chilton, while they were still moving furniture, Ollie went missing.

Ollie's right ear has small black spots on it, and he is described as having a "whispering" miaow.

Anyone who finds Ollie is asked to contact Mr King on 07767 647079.
