The Scottish SPCA are appealing for more information after four cats have fallen from the same block of flats in Aberdeen.

Scotland's animal welfare charity was made aware of another incident at Regent Court on Friday 28 October.

A member of the public notified the Scottish SPCA after seeing a cat lying immobile and vomiting.

Upon attending the scene, rescue officer Aimee Findlay said: "I arrived to find the male cat curled up in a pile of leaves. He is two years old, grey and a Scottish fold.

"He was unresponsive when I approached, and I was surprised to find him lying there exposed to the strong winds.

"I took him to the vets where they found his front leg to be completely broken and twisted.

"Unfortunately, the leg had to be amputated due to the extent of the injuries he had sustained.

"We have sadly heard that several other cats have recently been killed or injured after falling from the same block of flats.

"We are extremely concerned for the welfare of other animals in the area if this turns out to be the case.

"We urge anybody who recognises this lovely boy, or who lives in Regent Court and owns a cat, to please get in touch by calling our confidential animal helpline on 03000 999 999."
