This is Smudge now returned to his happy owner.  In September he managed to escape in the Herrada area near Almoradi and be taken to the Shelter some 4 weeks later.  In the meantime his mum had to return to England.

A volunteer found he had a Microchip but it had not been updated fully.  This volunteer posted the story and photo on her FB, which was viewed by a friend of the owner.

She duly contacted the Shelter to arrange a foster home for him while she made the necessary arrangements to have him brought to England.

He arrived there a few days ago. However, this story goes to prove not only how useful it is to have your animal micro-chipped but to also ensure that you update it.
