A hunt has been launched for a pyjama-wearing driver who hurled a cat on the street. It comes as the charity fears more pets will be dumped due to the cost of living crisis.
A passer by snapped a picture of an orange Mercedes Benz Sprinter van after the elderly black-and-white cat was abandoned in broad daylight. The female, nicknamed ‘Socks’ by rescuers, was taken in by the RSPCA after it was dumped in Warwick on Sunday (October 23).
The van, which had a 15 registration plate, pulled up in Woodville Road on the corner of Paradise Street at 10.30am. A man wearing blue-and-white striped pyjamas then got out and threw the cat onto the pavement before driving off.
