An airline pilot has saved two cats after she travelled 1,200 miles to get them.

Belinda Wall – a senior first officer with TUI Airways – quickly became besotted with Angel, three and two-year-old Rosie.

The pair of kitties needed a home and she couldn’t stop thinking about them.

The 45-year-old of Horsham, West Sussex had found out about the moggy duo after visiting an old RAF friend in Middlesbrough.

She made the first of the two 600 mile round trips to see pal Jenny Kirschmann – who now runs a cake shop.

Belinda told Jenny how she wanted to get some pets and after heading home she found out about Angel and Rosie.

They were being looked after at the RSPCA’s Great Ayton Animal Centre, near Middlesbrough and Jenny alerted her to them.

So Belinda applied to adopt them and then went back up there to pick them up during her next break from short haul flying.

Each leg was 300 miles and took six hours, as reported on What’s The Jam.

So in total she travelled 1,200 miles and spent 24 hours driving to get them.

Belinda said: “I saw them and I couldn’t believe it, it just felt so right

“I was keen to adopt a young bonded pair of cats as they’d keep each other company.

“And I also love ginger cats as I think they have wonderful personalities, they were both perfect.

“I slept on it and when I woke, I realised I couldn’t let it go.

“The fact Rosie and Angel were so deserving of a loving home and after such a special and emotional reunion with Jen.

“Everything seemed to align and the distance didn’t perturb me.

“I like a road trip, so I put in an online application form.”

She added: “I turned up at the centre and I’ll never forget it.

“Angel came up to me first to say hello. Rosie was a harder nut to crack but I gave her time and eventually she came over too.

“That was it for me and I knew there and then they had to come home with me.”

The pilot added: “We’ve built up such a great bond, they are my world.”

Beverley Dunn, Cattery Supervisor at Great Ayton Animal Centre, said: “Angel and Rosie were very shy cats when they came into our care.

“They needed a quiet, patient home with someone who was able to give them time and space.”
