An appeal has gone out to try and find a cat that has a tuna can stuck around its neck in Saltash.

The RSPCA has been alerted after the moggie was spotted in the Alamein Road area.

Anyone who sees it is being urged to try and usher it to somewhere it can be safely caught.

The charity is asking people not to try and attempt to remove the can themselves, as they could hurt themselves and the cat.

"We have been alerted to a cat that has a tuna can stuck around its neck around Alamein Road, Saltash. Bruce has delivered a cat trap to the people who last spotted that cat. If anyone is local to the area and see the poor cat, then please try and usher it safely into somewhere it can be caught (shed, garage, etc)

"Apparently the cat is very flighty and runs off when approached.

"If the cat is caught, please do not attempt to take the can off yourself, you could hurt yourself and the cat further."

Anyone with information about the cat is asked to contact the Cornwall RSCPA on 07521918577 or to message their Facebook page.
