Missing cat “Duster” – £150 reward

Has anyone seen our little cat, Duster? He's neutered, 1 yr old and lost in the Wardington area. He's been missing since the end of May. He's small, completely black with yellow eyes. His tail is bushier than the rest of his coat. A really lovely little cat. Please contact me on 07799 387 080 or jodie@armore.co.uk. Our other cat (and us) is really missing him... Thanks.
