A SEVERELY matted cat with respiratory issues was put to sleep after being found in a state of neglect.
The Scottish SPCA is appealing for information after the female pet was discovered in the close of a property on Argyle Street on February 20.
She was not microchipped or wearing a collar.
Elizabeth Lindsay, Scottish SPCA inspector, said: “The cat is a female tabby and white cat.
“The animal was extremely matted and suffering from urine scald and respiratory issues.
“She was taken to our veterinary clinic where she was put to sleep on veterinary advice due to the extent of her issues and to prevent any further suffering.

“We appreciate that times are tough and veterinary and grooming costs can be expensive, but this cat will have suffered a great deal as a result of this neglect.”
If anyone recognises the cat, or has any information, please call the Scottish SPCA’s confidential animal helpline on 03000 999 999.
