Cat Action Trust Leeds - Van Stolen.

[Rudgie47]

Hello, The Cat Action Trust in Leeds have had their silver transit van stolen from the Little London area in Leeds on Friday. Obviously it could be anywhere now.
It has the logo on the sides and is full of trapping equipment, cages, food etc. It a major blow to them as they have only just got it and without it they are struggling to help the ferals.
If you see or hear anything could you let them know please or the Police, the CAT are on Facebook. Thanks.

That is awful. Thieves are bad enough but targeting charities is very low.
I know a couple of people in West Yorkshire so will see if they can share on social media.

I saw a shared post about this on my local Facebook page, they do seem to be getting some publicity and a few positive sightings of the van. Fingers crossed they can get it back

Hi, The Police have found it and its been scrapped already by travellers. Hopefully they will be able to get a replacement in the near future.

Thats awful. I despair of people who would target charities. I hope they can get a replacement soon. Did they get any of their equipment back?

It's the equipment that's the worry. Not only is it expensive, it's a huge concern if trapping equipment falls into the hands of the 'wrong' people.

Scum :(

They have got all the equipment back, the travellers took the engine and bonnet and scrapped the van.
They think there might be a shortfall in the insurance, so are having a fundraiser for that and better security for a replacement.

I hope that the scum who did it are found and punished. Probably a vain hope, but still.
