Boris was clearly used to life on the open waves, but it was clear that he needed some more stability in his life and to find his land paws! Our Colne Valley branch took Boris in and, after enquiring about him with the local port authority, it emerged that Latvian officials had tried to find him on board the boat but the stowaway had eluded them. Boris is still undergoing his six months' quarantine but in that time has gone from a hissing, spitting cat to a friendly purring one - and he'll soon be ready for a new home.
