FORMER rescue cat Julian has been missing for nearly five weeks and his owner is desperate to get him back.

Eighteen-month-old Julian went missing from his home in Partridge Way, Downley, High Wycombe, around the middle of November and Leanne Casellas is very worried.

She said: "As a young male, Julian regularly goes off for three or four days at a time but as this jaunt has run into its fourth week, I am very worried that something has happened to him.

"I miss him terribly and would do anything to get him back."

The short haired black cat was wearing a shiny red collar with reflective Whiskas logos when he went missing, but he has been known to slip out of his collars. He is quite long and skinny and his fur is flecked with silvery grey hairs.

Leanne added: "He was a rescue cat and although he was very timid to start with he grew into an incredibly affectionate cat that purrs very loudly."

Julian is neutered, micro-chipped and up to date with all of his inoculations .

If you have seen Julian please call reporter Kelly Clayton on (01494) 755087 and if you think you have found the wandering mog, get him scanned at the vet.
