The Scottish SPCA is appealing for witnesses after a cat was cruelly thrown out of a car on January 11. 

The animal welfare charity was alerted by a member of the public that a female cat was ejected from a dark coloured 4x4, during the early hours of last Wednesday morning at Oakfield Street in Kelty.

They were able to dry and feed the feline as well as give her a place to stay the night.

Chief Inspector John Chisholm said, “She’s been named Cleo by our centre staff in Edinburgh where she is now recovering from her ordeal.

“We are unsure if she was purposely dumped or climbed into the person’s car accidentally.

“She’s a friendly cat but is still slightly nervous, which is understandable as she’s not had the best couple of days.”

Abandoning an animal is an offence and anyone found guilty can be banned from keeping animals. 

Anyone with information about Cleo is being urged to contact the Scottish SPCA Animal Helpline on 03000 999 999.
