The Scottish SPCA is appealing for information after a cat was abandoned in a Glasgow park.
Scotland’s animal welfare charity was alerted on 23 May when the ginger cat was discovered at Tollcross Park.
The cat is now in the care of the charity’s animal rescue and rehoming centre in Hamilton, where he has been named Jefferson.
Animal Rescue Officer Robyn Lewis said, “The person who contacted us said they saw a woman with a child and a sheepdog walk into the park with a cat carrier and come out without it.
“When they went to investigate they found the carrier with its door open and Jefferson sitting a few meters away. There was a tin of food inside the carrier along with some toys.
“Thankfully they managed to get a hold of Jefferson and put him back into the carrier before calling us for assistance.
“Jefferson is now doing well in our care and we will look after him until we can find him a loving new home.” Anyone with information is being urged to contact the Scottish SPCA Animal Helpline on 03000 999 999.
