The animal was earlier found by jail intelligence officials at the high-security Welikada Prison, according to the report, citing a police official.
He said that the cat had nearly two grams of heroin, two SIM cards, and a memory chip in a small plastic bag tied around its neck. However, the tricky feline escaped from the jail room he was being kept in on 2 August, the report said.
The prison authorities haven't yet commented on the matter.
Last week, police seized an eagle that was reportedly used by drug traffickers to distribute illegal substances in a suburb of Colombo.
