A cat lost an ear when its owner couldn't take afford to take it to the vet for treatment. The owner has been charged with causing unnecessary suffering by failing to provide vet treatment, and been disqualified from keeping all animals.
Milo came to the attention of the RSPCA after they received a call and photos of a cat with a bleeding ear. RSPCA Inspector Deb Scotcher attended the home and noticed the smell of infection.
She said: "I picked him up and could tell he was in pain. He was shaking his head and showing his discomfort." She told MyLondon: "His owner agreed we could take Milo to a vet so that he could be examined. A large part of his ear pinna was missing and the remaining tissue was crusted over with dried blood."
