Have you lost Faith?

Are you missing a feline friend?

A pregnant cat found wandering in woods in East Kilbride has been rescued by the Scottish SPCA.

The animal welfare charity swung into action after being alerted to a wooded area near Laurel Drive in Greenhills.

A member of the public discovered the lost grey pet looking disorienta­ted.

It is believed the stray, which has been named Faith by SSPCA staff, could have recently given birth or could be expecting a litter of kittens.

And the cat’s owner has this week been asked to come forward.

SSPCA Lanarkshir­e animal rescue and rehoming centre manager Peter Fleming says the cat is in a healthy state.

“The wee girl seems to be in relatively good condition,” he said.

“However, she does have mammary developmen­t so may have recently had a litter of kittens or be expecting.

“Faith, as she’s been named by staff, is receiving veterinary attention for her ears but is otherwise fit and healthy.”

Anyone with informatio­n is being urged to contact the animal helpline on 03000 999 999.
