Two cats discovered discarded in a box at the side of a roadway in Sussex are recuperating after being hurried to Cats Protection’s Adoption Centre.
Anna and Elsa were discovered by a passerby who went to examine after observing a cat provider abandoned in a lay-by on the Uckfield bypass.
Thought to be around nine-years-old, the 2 cats are being dealt with by veterinarians for dehydration and diarrhoea however staff are enthusiastic they will make a good healing.
Cats Protection’s National Adoption Centre deputy supervisor Tania Marsh said: “We have no idea how the cats came to be abandoned, or how long they had been there.
“With the cost of living crisis, it is certainly a possibility that this was an act of desperation for someone who could no longer care for them.
“Fortunately, these cats were found in time, but if they had not been discovered then the outcome could have been very different.
“We would urge anyone struggling to care for their cat to please get in touch with us first – our staff are friendly, caring and sensitive and used to helping in difficult situations.
“Anna and Elsa are lovely cats, very sweet and gentle. They’re still quite shy but that’s to be expected after what they’ve been through. We’ll be looking for a calm, quiet home for them once they are fit and well.”
Anna and Elsa – called after the much-loved characters from Disney’s Frozen – will be searching for brand-new houses when they have actually completely recuperated.
