A cat allegedly snatched by an Amazon delivery driver has been returned home – much to the relief of her family.
Carl Crowther, 53, spent the day looking for his cat Nora, and was left ‘disgusted’ when he discovered unusual footage on his doorbell camera on Sunday.
He saw a delivery driver picking up Nora and walking off after delivering a package from Zara.
Yesterday evening, the family were reunited with her, and Carl says she does not seem upset about her few days out of the house.
They remained tight-lipped on how they got their cat back – but said it was thanks to the extensive appeal.
Reunited with Nora
Carl, from Elland, West Yorkshire, said: ‘We are delighted, and very much relieved, that Nora is now back home.

‘She does not seem phased by the events of the past few days and is happily enjoying the extra treats and cuddles.
‘We would like to thank everyone who has liked and shared the social media posts and news articles. We really didn’t expect it to reach so far and wide.
‘Everyone’s kind comments have been appreciated. We are now leaving further investigation into the incident to the police, but thank them, along with representatives from Amazon and Zara, for their help in getting Nora home safely.’
Speaking previously about the apparent snatch, Carl said he checked the doorbell camera out of curiosity when he spotted that Nora was missing.
‘Lo and behold, I saw this deliveryman come down the path with the parcel in his hand,’ he said.
‘He doesn’t get a response at the door as no one was in, so he looks for someone safe to put the parcel. He’s then clocked the cat.’
A spokesperson for Amazon confirmed the company is investigating the incident and has been in touch with police.
Police confirmed the cat has been ‘located and returned to its owner.’
