Nine cats have been found dumped without food or water in Wiltshire.
Members of the public discovered the cats in crates while out on a walk on Salisbury Plain between Bulford and Tidworth on Friday, July 25.
They have been taken to the RSPCA and they are receiving the care and treatment they need, but the cats are unwell and it is unlikely they will have a quick recovery.
The RSPCA has issued an appeal for anyone with information about who may have abandoned the animals to contact them.
A spokesperson for RSPCA Wiltshire Mid Branch said: "We don’t usually work in this area but we couldn’t turn them away!
"Do you recognise these crates or cats? They’re quite distinctive. These cats were dumped with no food or water in this heat.
"They are filthy and unwell and we will now have a long road ahead of us to help them.
"Please message us, all communication will be confidential.
"Thank you."
The branch can be contacted on enquiries@rspcawiltshiremid.org.uk or via their Facebook page.
