An abandoned cat has been discovered in a pet carrier with a note pleading for someone to 'please look after me'.
The cat, who is named Cheeky, was found on October 9 on on Arran Road, Motherwell and brought to the Scottish SPCA where he is being taken care of.
Cheeky, who is nearly 13 years old, was left with a note that said his family could not afford to care for him.
The charity is now appealing for his family to come forward so they can know of any health or dietary requirements he may have.
Lanarkshire Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre manager, Gillian Boyle said, “We were brought the cat, named Cheeky, on 9 October.
“He had a note with him which read, ‘Hi my name is Cheeky. I’ll be 13 in February. Unfortunately my family can’t afford to keep me anymore. Please look after me.’
“While nobody should abandon an animal, we do appreciate the person who left Cheeky wanted him to be cared for.
“As Cheeky is an older cat, we would like to find out if he has any health issues or special dietary requirements.
“We are appealing for the previous owner to get in touch to let us know so we can provide him with the best possible care.
“If anyone has any information which can help us locate the owner, please contact our confidential animal helpline on 03000 999 999.”
