Cat abandoned at the side of the road in Fife
Scotland’s animal welfare charity was alerted on Friday (August 5) when a member of the public spotted the cat within its carrier on the roadside near Chesterstone Farm in Upper Largo.
The cat is now in the care of the charity’s animal rescue and rehoming centre in Lanarkshire where she has been named Frankie.

“She’s in good condition and is very friendly so we are unsure as to why someone would abandon her in this way.
“We will look after Frankie until we can find her the loving new home she deserves.”
Abandoning an animal is an offence under the Animal Health and Welfare (Scotland) Act 2006.
