Over 100 cats reported missing in Ipswich

A Facebook page called Ipswich Missing Cats has received reports of 108 missing cats.
Suffolk cat owners fear their pets have been killed or mistreated

A spate of cat disappearances in Suffolk has led cat owners to fear for the lives of their pets.

More than 100 cats have been reported missing via a Facebook page called Ipswich Missing Cats. It is feared they may have been mistreated or killed.

Deni Parkes, who set up the Facebook page, told the BBC: "Cats do go off for periods of time, but owners know their pets, and they know when something is out of character.

"You don't just have 108 cats go missing - with no bodies turning up - especially as many of them are microchipped."

According to a report by the BBC, Suffolk Police have confirmed they are aware of the alleged theft and maltreatment of cats in the Ipswich area and a PSCO has written to Ms Parkes offering to meet and discuss her concerns.
