Caged cats dumped on busy M74 slip road as rescue charity plea for information
A pair of caged cats[1] were found on a busy motorway after having been left abandoned by their owner.
The female felines were left on the M74[2] slip road, coming from Clydeside, on Sunday August 27. They were found by a member of the public who took them to an animal rescue centre.
Both cats are not microchipped, with the SSPCA now appealing for information regarding the pets.
Assistant manager at the rescue centre said: “These cats were found in their blue and white cat carrier beside a slip road coming from Clydeside on the busy M74. A member of the public managed to pick up the carrier and bring the cats to one of our centres.
“Both cats are females but are unfortunately not microchipped.
“We appreciate that whoever left the cats may have intended for them to be found but this is not the correct way to give up a pet if you can no longer care for them.
