The Daily Mail reports a quote from the rescuer’s girlfriend:
‘Once we got outside the stadium, the cat jumped out of my boyfriend’s arms and ran away.
‘No clue where it is now but I hope she is safe, it was a girl by the way we named her Arrow after the Chiefs stadium. She was super nice and we miss her!’
