The manager of the cafe received the redeeming phone call this morning. Sambal was found in the Leidsestraat, as a huge joy of the Barvrouwen. Marijn: “It’s so nice that he is back”. Barkeeper Merel could hardly believe the news: “We really jumped a hole in the air, incredible.”
Great mystery
It is and remains a big mystery, which has happened to the hangover in recent weeks. “And we will never find out,” says Marijn. “If only if we could talk to him, we would have asked him for a moment. We have no idea. The only thing we know is that he has become very fat.”
Sambal had lost since the beginning of January. On Sunday morning, January 5, an employee found his collar with GPS tracker in a bicycle crate, causing the fear that the cat had been taken by someone. The café staff was devastated. “We have a lot left to find it again,” said co-owner Loran Zonnenberg At the time against AT5.
Hearts stolen
The young, red hangover always steals the hearts of the staff and customers. “That is mainly due to his personality. He is so playful and social. People regularly come back especially for sambal. We can’t live without him.”
In recent weeks, it has therefore been sought with power to find him again. Entrepreneurs have stuck posters on the windows around the Nieuwmarkt and residents handed out Flyers around the café. It has even been considered to use a tracking dog.
