Cat found dumped in Spalding dyke

An appeal for information has been launched after a cat was dumped in a dyke in Spalding.

The young adult male tabby was discovered inside a cat box in six inches of water at 8.30am on Monday (April 13).

The cat is now being looked after by the RSPCA and has been nicknamed Puddles.

RSPCA inspector Andy Bostock said: “We do not know how poor Puddles came to be left there in such a terrible place.

“He was unhurt and in good health, and he looks as if he has been cared for, so it is possible he is a much loved pet and that someone else dumped him in this callous way.

“We urge anyone with any information about how he came to be left like this to let us know on 0300 123 8018.”
