Animal welfare charity plea for information after distressing discovery

The RSPCA is asking for help to find out more after a dead cat was discovered with an electrical cord tied around his neck alongside a pile of fly tipped rubbish in Dorchester.

The cat was brought into Castle Veterinary Clinic after being found dead by a member of the public around midday on 7 September.

Sadly he didn’t have a microchip so the charity is trying to find out where he has come from and what happened to him.

RSPCA Inspector Patrick Bailey, who is investigating for the animal welfare charity, said: “The cat had an electrical cord tied around his neck and the vets think he was sadly killed by this cord.

“The member of the public, who found him and kindly took him to the vet, discovered him alongside a pile of fly-tipping in the middle of the road in Bats Lane, close to the junction with Mallards Green. It’s thought he’d been dead around 48 hours before being found.

“We’re really hoping to be able to locate his owner and find out how he came to be found in this state.”

Anyone with information about the person who set the trap should contact the RSPCA appeals line on 0300 123 8018.
