Hong Kong cat back to ‘managing’ pharmacy after clean quarantine following scratching accusation
Skinnier Porsche takes up old routine amid outpouring of public support
A pharmacy cat that caused a sensation in Hong Kong after it was blamed for scratching a mainland boy made a popular return to the store upon completing quarantine.
The female cat named Porsche – affectionately dubbed “store manager” by staff and customers of the pharmacy at On Tat Estate in Kwun Tong – was at the centre of an uproar earlier this week.
Under the Rabies Ordinance, the department can detain any animal for observation after such an incident.
In the end, Porsche was sent to a private veterinary clinic for treatment and observation as she was not feeling well after the incident. The department allowed her to be quarantined at the clinic instead of the department’s animal management centre.
