As some of you may know I control the lost and found section for Bristol CPL anyway...
I got a new phone at christmas that wasnt anything amazing but an upgrade from the last at least, I've had alot of missed calls from various people reporting strays/lost cats but none seemed to be leaving messages (at least this is what the phone lead me to believe)
Today I got a text from orange telling me to listen to my voicemail before the oldest message was deleted.
(bare with me i know my posts get lenghy)
So i just called the old 123 and turns out i have EIGHT new voicemails.....

I felt completley awful, they were all CPL related. Some from fellow volunteers that werent urgent, (some from completley random people saying the RSPCA had been giving out my number!) but one from a lady who I had previously tried to contact......

She said the cat I called about wasnt a stray it was owned by someone but completley being neglected, it is hungry covered in mess and skinny and flea ridden she said she had contacted the RSPCA and other animal control units but heard nothing back.
I felt that I needed to do something but then the next message came....
The same lady, the next day, saying the RSPCA had been in touch, come out and put the cat to sleep she was really grateful id even been in contact but i couldnt help but feel awful.

I dont want loads of sympathy, realistically even if I had spoken to the lady it wouldnt have made a difference because we dont work the same way as animal control people do. Perhaps i would have taken the cat in myself. I dont know.

I cant believe someone would treat a cat like this, and in the view of all thier nieghbours,

It isnt the first time somone has metioned how quick the RSPCA (never put a healthy dog down) actually do put animals down quite, im not happy about it, I mean, out of context to this actual event, what is classified as healthy and cant a cat/dog with health problems still live an active happy life with medication.
I dont know i'm just upset!
