The truck driver found his cat 800 km…

#HERAULT. Maya, a cat belonging to Marco, a truck driver from the North, got into the wrong truck when a stop in Saint-Jean-de-Védas at the end of January. Found in Loire-Atlantique, the animal has finally returned home. When Marco realized that his cat had escaped, he looked for it in vain. "I called until 4 a.m. – 4:30 a.m.".

After going back to the North, he returned to Hérault, where he looked for his pet for three days, without success. Internet users moved by his story offer to host him. A pot is opened to pay for travel between the North and the South, and 500 euros are collected. It was finally nine days after its disappearance that the feline was found: "I received a phone call from the Saint-Brevin-les-Pins veterinary clinic " says the owner. "A lady had picked up Maya from her garage". The animal probably jumped from the truck it was in.

"I do not want to leave the 8th city of Gard in the hands of the extreme right which plays on fears and does not bring concrete solutions for people. In an anxiety-provoking context, my role and that of my team is to reassure. We are there nearby. The locals know me."

The beach shelter is full of people and scares
