Fury as beloved railway station cat attacked by group of teenagers

Heartbreaking stuff

Nala, who's a friendly four-year-old Moggy, is absolutely loved by station-goers at Stevenage station in Hertfordshire.

But shockingly, she was kicked and chucked around by a group of teenagers just days ago until rail staff intervened.

The news sparked outrage in the local area, with one person writing: “I saw Nala the other week and [she] helped me through the ticket barrier.

“Put a smile on my otherwise miserable commute. How or why would anyone hurt [her]?”

Another wrote: “I’m horrified that people could treat precious Nala in this way.”

Nala is thankfully fully recovered from the attack which happened on November 19 and has since returned to her normal spot at the station.

Her owners have since said: “She enjoys [her] freedom, spending some days entirely at home and others exploring or being perched at the station. We do not wish to restrict [her] freedom.

“We thank the anonymous member of the community who stood up for Nala and the station staff who intervened and hope the police will bring the perpetrators to justice.”
