We are appealing for information after a fourth cat is suspected to have fallen from the same block of flats in Regent Court, Aberdeen on 28 October.

We were made of aware of the incident when a member of the public reported the animal to our helpline after observing it lying immobile and vomiting.

Scottish SPCA animal rescue officer, Aimee Findlay, said, “I arrived to find the male cat curled up in a pile of leaves. He is two years old, grey and a Scottish fold.

“He was unresponsive when I approached and I was surprised to find him lying there exposed to the strong winds.

“I took him to the vets where they found his front leg to be completely broken and twisted. Unfortunately, the leg had to be amputated due to the extent of the injuries he had sustained.

“We have sadly heard that several other cats have recently been killed or injured after falling from the same block of flats.
