Airline loses three kittens rescued in Crete by newlyweds

British couple feared the worst after kittens were left in hold after flight to Paris and returned to Greece

A newlywed couple who married in Greece said they feared the worst when three kittens they had rescued from Crete went missing after being left in the hold of an aeroplane.

They first travelled to the island in September 2023 and found the mother cat, who “had a very distinctive bulging eye that needed to be removed”, Bethany Mulcahy-Stephenson, a veterinary nurse, said.
