New College’s pet kitten Otis has been returned home after being discovered in Cowley on Tuesday night.
The cat, whose disappearance was reported two weeks ago in Cherwell, is said to have been “unscathed but confused” when found by RSPCA workers.
Zoe Norridge, Fellow in African and Comparative Literature, who oversees the welfare of the College pet, has thanked everyone who helped in the search for Otis.
“Thank you for all the messages, help with putting up posters, late night walks around the University Club pitches calling out his name and so on.”
Otis, who had disappeared on Monday 8th February, is now said to be “purring and curled up on the sofa” . Norridge said, “We’ll keep Otis in for a week or so but look out for him around college towards the end of term!”
