A worker called to Anfield for her job said it was the strangest call-out she's had.

Hannah Wong, community engagement officer at Cats Protection, was called to Liverpool FC's ground to help rescue a cat.

The stray was found roaming around Anfield after matches to eat fans' leftover food.



They then contacted Cats Protection, who were called to catch and rehome the hungry feline.

Hannah said: “The LFC ground is the strangest place we’ve caught a cat.

We worked closely with the groundsmen to set up a trap for Red who had been doing his business on the pitch, although there’s no evidence he is an Evertonian!

"Red unfortunately wasn’t microchipped, so we’ll never know how he came to be a regular visitor to the ground." Red was adopted by the Corrie family, who have renamed him Tommy after Liverpool's legendary defender Tommy Smith.

They said: “Tommy has settled in very well - he was a bit nervous at first but after a couple of days he's now ruling the roost.

We’re so glad we adopted him.”

This wasn't the only time a cat was found on the pitch at Anfield.

Liverpool’s love affair with intrepid felines dates back to the opening game of the 1964-65 season, when the Reds – defending First Division champions – took on Arsenal in a match which became the first ever to have highlights televised on Match of the Day.
