"She asked me if I was the owner of a cat called Duke -- I couldn't believe it," Barstow recounted to Wales Online. "She told me that he had been found just 300 yards away from my home at a factory. I was absolutely shocked -- I just completely broke down."
It emerged that Duke had been living amidst the hustle and bustle of a nearby factory, where compassionate workers provided him with sustenance and shelter from the elements. Concerned for Duke's safety, the workers sought professional help, leading to the pivotal discovery of his microchip.
