IT’S always heart-warming to see a reunion of friends and the team at Killarney Advertiser was delighted to play a key role in helping cat Flipi return to his owner Edwina Duggan.
Flipi, aged two years, went missing from his home in Aghadoe in mid-January and as the weeks went by Edwina despaired of finding her beloved pet.
A distraught Edwina placed an ad in Killarney Advertiser. She was extremely worried about Flipi’s welfare, particularly as he is on medication to treat epilepsy.
Then, exactly a month after he had wandered off, Annie O’Leary noticed a cat matching his description in her back garden at Lissivigeen and promptly called Killarney Advertiser where she had read of missing Flipi. “He was out the back crying so I fed him, and called Killarney Advertiser. I have two dogs and a cat myself. I completely understand how it feels to lose a pet like that – my own cat, Ping, went missing three years ago and was found in Crosstown, again with the help of Killarney Advertiser!” said Annie.
Edwina was delighted to be reunited with Flipi. “I really didn’t expect to see him again. He wandered off on January 14 and I got him back on February 14. He is more affectionate than ever!” she said.
