RSPCA Cymru is warning owners to be vigilant after two cats were suspectedly poisoned in Cardiff.

The two cats, from the Splott area of the city, were taken to their local vets twice by their owners, but unfortunately had to be put to sleep.

The cats, named ‘Mumma cat’ and Felix were aged three and five years.

It is heartbreaking. I’m really worried now as I have other cats. They don’t go far, they are really territorial so it is horrible to think it may have happened close by. Owner

The charity is now appealing for any information and calling on pet owners to be vigilant.

We're calling on all cat owners in the Splott area to be vigilant and to take their cat to a vets straight away if they suspect they have been poisoned. It is very sad that the two cats that are suspected to have been poisoned, didn’t make it. Our thoughts are with their owner, who is now worried sick that her other cats may also be poisoned. We don’t know whether these incidents were accidental or deliberate or who may have done it. Poisoning a cat deliberately is a criminal offence. We're urging anyone with information to come forward and contact the RSPCA Inspectorate information line on 0300 123 8018. Selina Chan, RSPCA Inspector
