Warning Cat owners
I have just been notified about a post at on Nextdoor at the weekend by a lady, who was out walking around 6pm on Northchurch Road in De Beauvoir, N1. She noticed two white men with a large, unmuzzled brown dog, taking photos of a ginger cat from behind a van. They had the dog's muzzle in their hand. They then went and grabbed the cat. The lady stepped in and, pretending the cat was hers, asked what they were doing with her cat and they handed him over.
This is very worrying and suggestive that these men had bad intentions towards the cat. My friend, who forwarded the post to me, lives in the area and is trying to get more information. I will also contact Hackney's dog warden who knows a number of the dogs in the borough. Please forward this post to dog walkers you know in this part of Hackney and the surrounding area and ask if they know who these men and the dog might be.
I know it`s not in the immediate area but near enough for them to travel here!!
