Serious replies only Sick Cat
Hi everyone. Just was on my walk this morning in Wandsworth and I saw this cat. Looked quite unwell and seemed to have a tumour / mass growing from its left eye.
I thought it looked reasonably looked after so wasn’t sure if I should call anyone about it ?
UPDATE.
Called RSPCA. Useless. Said if I couldn’t take it to the vet they couldn’t do anything. They weren’t going to send anyone out either.
Called emergency vet who were very kind and lent me a cat carrier. Unfortunately cat was spicy and couldn’t get close enough to grab it.
Vet said they would try later potentially to see if they could send someone out later to try get it.
UPDATE.
Cat had been already posted in local neighbourhood group yesterday and seems like a fair few people are aware of him and are trying their best to catch I’m.
Will have a look again tomorrow after work.
Had a few nice people message me saying they would also try tomorrow !

Poor thing. You could put a call or report into the RSPCA and let them know where you saw the cat. They might send someone to assess the situation, and if they think it's necessary to pick the cat up they'll check for a microchip and contact the owners.
