The RSPCA is interesting for info after a kitten with a bandaged and damaged leg was discovered straying in an Oldham road.
The black cat was discovered with a bandage wrapped round their leg.
The bandage appeared to have been placed on by an proprietor reasonably than a vet.
It’s as of but unknown if the cat was deserted, or had gone lacking from their home.
They have been discovered on Rock Street in Oldham on Saturday, December 30.
Sadly, the cat deteriorated on the vets and was put to sleep to finish their struggling.
The cat wasn’t microchipped so the RSPCA is making an attraction for the proprietor to come back ahead.
Animal rescue officer Ross Allan stated: “The cat was discovered struggling to walk and was pulling their again legs behind them, so that they have been clearly in quite a lot of ache.
“A vet examination confirmed that the kitten had a badly damaged leg.
“We have made enquiries within the native space and have put up posters, however now we have had no luck up to now.
“We don’t know if the cat was abandoned or is being missed by an owner, so we are urging anyone with information about the cat to get in touch with us.”
In 2023, the RSPCA acquired 20,995 stories of an deserted animal – greater than in 2022, 2021 and 2020.
Mr Allan added: “Sadly, animal neglect and abandonment calls to us are at a three-year high, which is why we need our supporters to join the winter rescue to help more animals like this poor cat.”
