Missing moggy Mia's safe return after rooftop rescue
MISSING cat Mia is back safe and sound and home sweet home – after high drama following her rooftop rescue in Rotherham last night.
The four-year-old indoor cat was spotted on High Street above Subway yesterday afternoon with concerned passers-by holding out a blanket ahead of the arrival of South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue.
Videos posted to the Advertiser Facebook page yesterday received lots of comments from readers – as well as from owner Camila Sales who posted 'Thanks everyone who’s trying to help and giving support.'
Camila – who runs the Little Rio Cafe on the High Street – had actually reported Mia missing a few days earlier.
The cat was rescued by fire crews and returned to Camila yesterday – with online comments from readers ranging from 'Awesome job SYFR' to 'The most purrfect outcome'!
Speaking to the Advertiser today, owner Camila said: “Mia was checked out by vets and is now resting and doing really well.
“The vets were surprised as she has been missing for a few days but she is doing okay.
“Last night she wanted lots of strokes and and tummy rubs and affection from me.
“Thanks to everyone who helped her – we are happy to have her home!”
A SYFR spokesperson said: “One fire officer and a turntable ladder were mobilised to rescue a cat that was on top of a building on Rotherham High Street after a call was received at around 2pm on Wednesday, July 15.
“The crew managed used the turntable ladder to bring the cat to safety and reunite her with her owner.
