Submitted by Steve on 23:37, 13th May, 2015 | 0

Just over a week ago a stray, female, tortie and white cat of around one year of age was brought into the GSPCA from St Peter Port.

On arrival she wasn't in the best of conditions with a very dirty coat, full of flea's, not acting very well in herself and extremely thin.

With no microchip or identification we are appealing for an owner to come forward, but it does appear that she had been out for some time.
