That's amazing, how did he manage such a vast trek? Well done for taking time to check him out.

Believe, i think you need to re read this thread, no one is catnapping your cat, they are showing concern and your aggressive posts aren't reassuring people but only making matters worse.

That's so kind of you Jayne to take in this dog and keep him safe overnight, lets hope you find his owners . Do keep us posted.

So sorry to hear this, very upsetting. I would suggest you call the council to see if they have collected his body, i know another poster on here found her cat had been run over and she got him back from the council. I do hope you find him.

I'm so sad to hear this, he was a lovely looking cat, I was really hoping for a happy outcome. Sending you my condolences.

Although I would have thought if someone was catnapping the cat they wouldn't be advertising the fact on a local forum. I agree its upsetting when people assume your friendly cat is lost, I've had the same in past with my sociable cat. But I'd rather people showed concern and checked it out then just ignore a situation. Also just to highlight if people are not aware, there is someone going around London killing cats and the advice given has been to keep them in at night.

An older springer spaniel belongs to the picture frame shop on North Cross Rd, don't know if it's him?

Good news, two more of these dogs (Errol & Pia ), have both been handed in to two different vets. Just two more from this latest theft to find, lets hope they too get handed in. But two dogs from previous theft over a month ago ( Nina & Mattie ) still need to be found. We must not forget them and keep looking and passing information on.

Delainie, do call 101, just give the information you've given here, better safe than sorry, alternatively alert dog lost, this does need checking out, even if it's not them. Their owners may not be looking on this site, but definitely I'd say they are linked in with dog lost. And yes , this is the third stolen van with dogs. Lets hope now the message has got through to dog walkers to take more care.

Report from dog lost, the chihuahua has been found, handed in to vets in SE22. Fantastic news, just need all the others back now.

I don't really care if it was planned or opportunistic. Would they leave their iPad, mobile, wallet in their vans whilst they just popped out for a few seconds? It was known widely that a month ago a similar event occured. Why are they taking such risks with dogs that are irreplaceable, unlike the other items that can be replaced? My heart breaks for the dogs and owners.

Yes, whilst I agree its criminals targeting dogs, the dog walkers are not securing their vans, so it makes them sitting targets. Please dog walkers DO NOT leave your vans unlocked. These poor dogs mean the world to their owners. I really hope they are found ASAP. 2 dogs from previous van theft remain lost, i can't imagine what the owners are going through.

Fantastic news and well done to all the volunteers of "dog lost ", who have tirelessly been searching for these dogs over the past month. However, two are still missing ( Nina & Mattie ), so please keep looking and passing information on to get the last two back home.

Fantastic news! What a relief, glad your family is complete again.

What a beautiful cat. As he is so distinctive hopefully he'll be easy to recognise, I will definitely be looking out for him when I'm out and about walking my dog, hope he turns up soon. Do keep us posted.

Although sadly KidKruger, people aren't speculating on dog walker behaviour. The facts are that the keys were left in the van's ignition hence an easy target for theft and that's why we now have 3 dogs missing. There are good and bad professional dog walking services, I see it myself on my daily walks with my dog. Some companies do pick up lots of dogs in vans, meaning some of the dogs spend a lot of time in the van, that's fine if the owners are aware and happy with this arrangement. Some dogs are walked in very large groups, again fine if owners know this and their dogs are confident to be in a large pack. My concern, and I could be wrong, is that owners are unaware of what goes on when they entrust their dog to a paid carer.

Thanks for info -will do. Really hope these dogs will be found soon, it's been over 2 weeks now.

Any update on this cat? Did you manage to catch him/her and take vet for scanning? Hoping for happy ending.

What did she say in the interview? What is her company doing? I feel for these poor dog owners they must be going through hell.

Sounds good idea, really hope for you and cat you manage to get him or her.
