Police plan to prosecute an elderly man who allegedly kidnapped a cat called Max from Westmere and dumped him at Northcote Pt on the North Shore.
Max was reunited with his owner on Saturday after disappearing at the end of last month. Grey Lynn community constable Natalie Lyons said yesterday that the man, who is aged over 60, would be charged under the Animal Welfare Act with wilfully abandoning an animal.
