DURBAN - A desperate Durban family is offering a R10 000 cash reward, a R500 tattoo voucher and five free car washes for the safe return of their beloved missing cat.
The Isaac family's ginger-coloured cat, named King, who has only one eye due to it being removed as a result of cat flu, went missing from their Woodview, Phoenix home two weeks ago. There has been no sign of King since the day of his disappearance.
Owner Sharon Isaac said King the cat was her family's life. They had picked him off the street as a supposedly stray kitten eight months ago.
She said he was easy to identify because King had only one eye which made him distinctive from other cats.

"When we found him, we immediately took him to the vet and he was diagnosed with something called snuffles which is a respiratory disease that affects cats. As a result, his eye had to be removed. We are appealing to anyone who may see him to please return him to us. He is so gentle, so please also be gentle when handling him, if anyone finds him. Even if he doesn't respond to the name King but matches the description, please alert us," said Isaac.
