The RSPCA is appealing for information after a kitten was dumped in an Ikea car park in Essex.

Five-month-old Vinnie was found in a pet carrier by a member of the public in the car park of the furniture superstore at Lakeside Shopping Centre.

The grey and white youngster, thought to be half-Bengal, was left in a parking space in the carrier with a heartbreaking note reading: ‘Hi, my name is Vinnie and I am a very handsome five-month-old half Bengal boy kitten. My mummy loves me very, very much but is unable to keep me for personal reasons. And I am very sad’

A pouch of cat food and some toys were also left in his carry basket.

A member of the public found him and very kindly took him home before calling the RSPCA.
