Escaped Savanna cat in Norfolk found in plant pot in back garden

An escaped big cat believed to have been roaming the countryside for two months has been captured after being found with injuries in a plant pot in a back garden.

Kevin Murphy, of Norfolk Wildlife Rescue, has been trying to track down the Savannah cat since it was spotted three weeks ago near Bramerton, south of Norwich.

The feline is native to sub-Saharan Africa and it had been on the loose since escaping from its home in May.

Murphy, who used a net to catch it safely in Bramerton, said the owner had been confirmed as living in the NR1 postcode area of Norwich, about four miles away, and that the animal had been taken to a vet with a broken paw.
