The Scottish SPCA was alerted by a member of the public who discovered the female cat near Burntisland on a small layby of the A909, an entry point for Cullaloe woods.

Scottish SPCA inspector Sarah Gregory said: “This little cat is lucky she was discovered by a vigilant member of the public who knew something wasn’t right as she could have easily been missed.

“We are unsure how long she was left outside for and we are keen to find the person responsible for abandoning her in this deliberate and cruel way.

“She doesn’t appear to have any signs of injury but was covered in urine and faeces when we found her.

“She is currently being cared for by the staff at our centre in Edinburgh and has been named Clover.
