WARNING: Distressing images
A dead cat has been found inside a zip-up bag, dumped in a Greater Manchester canal. Heartbreaking images shared by the RSPCA show the dirty, beige holdall bag which the cat had been found inside, along with its body.
It is not known if the cat was already dead when she was dumped, or if she drowned in the canal. The RSPCA says her jaw had a piece of metal inside, which had not been inserted by a vet.The charity says the cat was found in 'suspicious circumstances' and is urging anyone with information to come forward. RSPCA animal rescue officer Helen Chapman, who is looking into the incident, said: “This is a very concerning incident and we are keen to find out what happened to this cat.
"The cat wasn’t microchipped so we’re relying on the public to help us.” It comes as many pet owners are struggling to care for their animals during the cost of living crisis, and the RSPCA insists support is available.
