Animal lovers in Dublin are being asked to watch out for a furry hitch-hiker.

Honey the cat caught a lift with an unsuspecting van driver on Sunday, who took him from Tinahely in Wicklow up to Dublin.

He was last seen in Templeogue, near the site of the old Ashfield college.

But hasn't been spotted since.

Honey is an adult neutered male cat who is not chipped.

He also has a distinctive deformed left ear.

The DSPCA, who say his owners are very worried, is appealing to anyone who has information to get in touch.
