“We’ve been searching for him, putting up posters and appealing on social media ever since,” she added.
“But there is no sign of Bertie.
Sharon, who lives five miles away in the village of Ive Hill, added: “I’m angry and disappointed.
“We got Bertie five years ago when he was a kitten, but we don’t know if we will ever see him again.
“It’s heartbreaking.”
She added: “We have walked miles searching for him.
“He is very much loved, he’s chipped and neutered.”
Berte has a white patch on his tummy and a V-shaped nick at the top of his right ear.
The Woodlands Pet Care said on social media: “Please keep an eye out for Bertie.”
Local Michelle Smith said, “Hope you find him.”
Belinda Murray added: “Have you tried leaving unwashed laundry outside?
“That can help them get home, apparently.”
The cattery has been approached for further comment.
