Gemma Robertshaw was left heartbroken when her Persian cat, Snaps, went missing. The 39-year-old took a week off work to search for her beloved pet, under the assumption that if he was found the council would be able to contact her thanks to his microchip.
But she was left devastated when she only learnt her 18-year-old cat was dead after a message on Facebook, when someone on a local group called Gemma to say they had seen Snaps killed by two dogs and had taken the deceased cat to Stockport Council.
Gemma tried to visit the local tip in search of her beloved pet's body but eventually was informed that deceased animals, including her own cat, were taken to a pet crematorium. READ MORE: Distraught pet owner finds kitten 'pouring with blood'
