Wikileaks confirm Assange cat is safe

Wikileaks has confirmed that the cat owned by founder Julian Assange is safe after his arrest in London.

The feline had lived with Assange during his seven-year stay at the Ecuadorian embassy since May 2016, when she was gifted to him as a pet by his children.

In a tweet accompanied by a video of the animal, Wikileaks said: “We can confirm that Assange’s cat is safe. Assange asked his lawyers to rescue him from embassy threats in mid-october. They will be reunited in freedom.”
