British newlyweds feared worst when transportation of rescue cats from Greece to Paris went awry
A newlywed couple who married in Greece have said they feared the worst when three kittens they rescued from Crete went missing after being left in the hold of an aeroplane.
They first travelled to the island in September 2023 and found the mother cat, who “had a very distinctive bulging eye that needed to be removed”, Bethany Mulcahy-Stephenson, a veterinary nurse, said.
When they returned to Crete for their wedding in May, they went to look for the cat, whom they had named Abba, and found her with four kittens and pregnant again. Two of the kittens had eye infections and one was blind. The couple later named them Benny, Bjorn, Agnetha and Frida.
Mulcahy-Stephenson, 34, and her husband, Adam, 39, contacted a local rescuer who said she could take the kittens in temporarily, but they would have to find homes for them.
