I am anxious to contact the owners of a missing black cat in the North Bromley area.

Myself and my partner were involved in a road accident with a black cat on Farwig Lane in Bromley on August 12.

The cat did not survive the accident, and we were both very distressed about it.

As it was late at night and the cat had no collar, we called Bromley police and arranged for someone to come out and pick it up.

Unfortunately police advised us that because it was a cat instead of a dog, they would not keep a record of the incident so that the owners could be informed if they rang the police reporting their missing cat.

I am at a loss as to how to inform the owners sensitively, as I do not like to think of someone wondering what has happened to their pet, and never knowing.

I am quite sure it was somebody's pet rather than a stray, because although it had no collar, it looked very well cared for.
