An animal charity had condemned a pet owner after a cat was found abandoned in a crate with a litter tray outside of a petrol station in Edinburgh. A concerned member of the public found the animal in Pitt Street on Monday and alerted the Scottish SPCA.
The feline was taken home by the worried individual who noticed a note attached to the crate, it said the pet was "an indoor cat named Jackie who would prefer a quiet home".
When an animal rescue officer attended to retrieve the young female cat, she was still scared after being traumatised by the incident. The charity has now condemned the actions of the person who abandoned her and said it was "absolutely not the right way to give up an animal".
