The cat has changed quite a bit, it is now hungry and watchful, even jumpy, no longer the bold, confident cat that first came around on that Saturday night. I called the RSPCA hoping for help but that only led to tears.

Some things they/she said.

"We can only help with sick or injured animals."
"We do not have a re-homing centre near you."
"If if you no longer want the cat around simply don't feed it."
"There is a reason why cats aren't protected by law, they will always find food and a way to live."
