We lost a black cat named Griffin, in Seymour about 2 weeks ago. He doesn’t have a collar and he is fourteen years old. He’s a kind of uneven mottley colour but would look black from a distance. Please contact me on 07 5476 9636 if he is found. He was lost in the vicinity of the Highlands Caravan Park on Emily St in Seymour Victoria, but he could have wandered quite a distance since then. We miss him terribly.
