An Irvine woman has put out an urgent appeal as she asks locals to help her find her missing cat.

Five-year-old brown tabby cat Lexi has been missing from the Castlepark area – where she is known to wander and visit neighbours’ gardens - since Saturday, January 28.

Lexi is not chipped and could possibly be pregnant, making the situation even more worrying for owner Lyla.

Lyla said: “She time to time liked go outside to visit neighbours gardens but [isn’t known to] especially hide anywhere.

“We are missing her so so much.”

When she went missing, Lyla was wearing the collar with one blue and one orange bell shown in the picture.

Lexi likes any cat food and is especially fond of milk so should be attracted to either of these.
