FINLAY IS STILL MISSING
We still have no news about the whereabouts of Finlay, how he is being treated or whose care he is under. Just to be completely honest with you, we are totally devastated. We have also spoken to John and Angela who originally rescued him and they are heartbroken and in disbelief. The stress and worry is almost unbearable for us all. We saved his life and watched him grow as you all have, from a tiny, helpless kitten to a magnificent, healthy and strong animal. He was just a few weeks from release.
When we described the events of the seizure, many of you reacted with disbelief (as did we), particularly as no warrant or paperwork were produced by the police. Many of you quite rightly had deep concerns that is was people impersonating police officers. However it was the police and the incident reference has been published in the media. It was provided by North Wales Police. Here it is: 21000883036
We have sought the best legal help we can and the legal team is working on getting him back. Every additional day Finlay spends away from his rehabilitation enclosure, the bleaker his future looks and that is the most painful aspect of all this. It’s Finlay’s life and future at stake here and he shouldn’t be used a as pawn in a game to get at our project and to try to distract and damage our preparations for this crucial, upcoming Public Inquiry into the Clashindarroch windfarm.
Finlay’s life started terribly, he lost his mother and probably saw his siblings die in the den around him, before he made the brave decision to leave his den to try and find his mother. He has fought so hard and has never given up. That is what we all must do now, we must show the same spirit he has shown and keep fighting for him.

We are so sad and in pain, but out of that pain comes a steely determination to see this through to the end. As soon as we hear anything, we will update you.
Thanks as always
The Wildcat Haven team and Finlay
