Local Community Alert:

Hi there, strange message but not sure where else to send it! We live locally but are blow-ins and don't really know people (hence sending the community council a DM about this!)
We found a dead tortoiseshell cat on the road towards town last week, quite badly run over and we mistook it for our cat and buried it. Our cat then came home...breaks my heart to think someone is missing their pet and doesn't know where she went. If you know anyone missing a tortoiseshell cat, maybe let them know or pass the word around?
Thanks so much
