A kitten has been killed after being thrown from a moving car in southeast London.
The tabby-and-white cat, which was less than six months old, was found at the junction of Burns Close and Chaucer Road in Welling shortly before 8pm on October 31.
A witness saw the kitten being thrown from a dark-coloured car with a silver trim on the roof.
They said the cat struggled to stand up on all fours after being thrown from the vehicle.
The RSPCA described it as a “really distressing and upsetting discovery” and anyone with doorbell or camera footage has been asked to get in touch.
As a result of the kitten’s injuries, its sex is unclear and it had not been microchipped, the charity said.
Rescue officer Brian Milligan, who attended the scene, said: "The kitten must have been terrified as this was happening and this was clearly a tragic ending to this young cat's life."
He added: "From what we've been told, it appears that the poor kitten was alive when it was allegedly thrown from the car, then possibly injured during the incident, and subsequently run over.
"If someone no longer wants their pet, there are many safe and responsible options available - abandoning or harming an animal is never acceptable."
