Cat survives 100ft fall from 16-storey high rise

A cat had a miracle escape after falling 100ft from a block of flats. The young white-and-tabby female suffered multiple injuries, including a broken jaw. Inspectors are investigating whether it was thrown from the balcony of one of the homes.

CCTV controllers contacted the RSPCA after their cameras captured the cat plummeting from a 16-storey high rise in Ladywood, Birmingham, on April 6.

They went outside and found the cat lying injured on the ground and it was taken to RSPCA Newbrook Farm Animal Hospital in Frankley Green, Birmingham. The cat is currently recovering at the hospital.
