Live updates as efforts continue to rescue ‘crying Tesco Kidgsrove cat’

Kidsgrove: There’s a bit of a situation at the Tesco car park. A black cat has been hanging around, and it’s been crying out for help. The folks at Alsager Animals In Need have been trying to rescue this little guy since Christmas, but it’s been tough.

They’ve set up traps to catch him, but here’s the kicker: shoppers keep feeding him! So, he’s not hungry enough to go for the bait. The rescue team is asking everyone to stop feeding him, which is a bit of a tough sell when you see a sad cat.

They’ve got someone who leaves food for him just in case the rescue doesn’t go as planned. But they really need him to be hungry to make the trap work. Earlier this week, they mentioned they’ve been trying to catch him for hours, but it’s tricky with so many people involved.

This isn’t the first time a cat has made Tesco its home. There was a famous cat named Winston who used to hang around there. He was a bit of a legend until he passed away last Christmas at the age of 20. It’s a tough spot for these cats, but the rescuers are determined to help this one out.
