Heartbreaking CCTV shows pet cat being abandoned

This is the moment a cat was abandoned outside a vet in Walsall:

It happened at White Cross Vets on Leamore Lane on Monday (19 August).

The white and tortoiseshell cat has been nicknamed Lea after the road she was abandoned on and she is now being cared for by RSPCA staff.

Staff have said that they understand that people may find themselves in difficult situations and are forced to rehome their animals, but there are better ways to go about it.

The charity has urged people who are struggling with their pets to speak to their local vet or rescue centre, or contact a charity for help.
