One woman's fight to ensure the government shows 'respect' to cats so that 'no more dead cats are taken to landfill' 🐱
Gizmo was taken to landfill – with owner Heléna unable to carry out a proper burial for her ‘best friend’ Facebook pages up and down the UK are littered with posts about dead cats seen at the side of the road.
Their microchips aren’t always scanned, leaving owners without closure on what happened to their lost pet.Her rescue cat, Gizmo, was ‘her best friend’ and ‘more than just a pet’.But Gizmo was struck by a car in 2016, removed from the roadside and taken to landfill.Heléna was distraught and suffered a breakdown following the loss of her much-loved pet.
Day or night, there is always someone monitoring the group’s social media accounts, ready to respond if a sighting is reported.Once that happens, its family can be informed of what has happened. ‘Why DEFRA insist on saying the councils are following “Best Practice” is so frustrating, when Gizmo’s Legacy have proved hardly any councils scan, let alone bother to check the database, if they actually have a cat that is chipped in their possession.
