A CAT that was found with duct tape around its face and dumped in an alleyway has won the heart of the public.

After being dumped in an alleyway in Romford, the ginger cat was taken to Medivet, in Southend who said they hoped to reunite the cat with its owner as it was believed he was someone’s pet.

One week on and the vet said the cat is doing really well and they have been inundated with enquiries by people wanting to give him a forever home – so many that they have had to close the waiting list.

If anyone knows who owns the cat, they can contact Medivet on 01702 52666.
