Runaway Dundee cat Harry reunited with owner after 2 days on the run inside pet store

Pets at Home staff had to call in a cherry picker as part of their efforts to rescue the moggy.

A runaway cat who fled inside a Dundee pet store has been reunited with his owner two days on.

Harry ran off inside the Pets at Home shop on Tuesday after reportedly becoming “spooked” during a visit to the in-store vet.

Firefighters were initially called in after the moggy climbed onto steel beams inside the shop but were unable to get him down.

By Thursday morning, Harry was still on the loose – with staff said to be trying “all avenues possible” to get him back.

That included calling in a small cherry picker, which was driven into the shop to assist with the rescue effort.

It has now been confirmed Harry has been returned to his owner.

A spokesperson for Pets at Home said: “We’re very happy to report that Harry has been reunited with his owner.

“Colleagues in our pet care centre are ensuring Harry and his owner are both safe and well after his explorations and that will continue to be our priority.

“Everyone at Pets at Home hopes Harry is ‘feline’ back to his normal self very soon.”

The shop was temporarily closed on Thursday afternoon while the rescue took place but has since reopened.
