Patchie – Adopt a Stray

On 25 January 2024, under our "Adopt a Stray" programme, we responded to a second emergency call for a hit and run victim.
We sometimes feel we are drowning and not getting anywhere, but slowly we are. There are fewer reports now from a year ago. And you don't often see too many emaciated strays.

Patchie's story is a common one.  Inattentive, speeding drivers, and poorly lit roads are the primary contributing factors.  Luckily for Patchie, the reporter agreed to adopt him once he is better.  He is getting there, and now has a home to go to, and not wander the streets getting tangled in traffic.
