SSPCA appeal for help to reunite a host of lost pets with their owners during lockdown

The SSPCA have appealed to the public for information as they try to trace the owners of five abandoned and lost animals.

The charity have released images of birds, a turtle and even a snake in the hope of reuniting the animals with their owners in the near future.

In recent weeks the group of pets have sadly been found across Scotland, with the snake found roaming in East Lothian.

Since being recovered, two of the pets are now being cared for at the Edinburgh centre, with the others taken to different sites around Scotland.

Members of the public have been asked to contact the charity if they have any relevant information and can do so by phoning 03000 999 999.

Tortoise

This tortoise was found in Park Place, Alloa on 25 June and is now being looked after at the Edinburgh centre.

Cockatiel

This cockatiel was found on Camelon Cresecent, Blantyre on June 25 and is now at the SSPCA's centre in Lanarkshire.

The SSPCA have continued to care for and rescue animals across the country during lockdown, and have also urged the public to be more aware of local wildlife.

The charity have asked members of the public to be more informed about fawns as several of baby deer have been taken away from their families due to people thinking they had been abandoned.

In recent weeks the animal charity have had nine fawns brought into their care, seven of which had been mistaken for being abandoned and had therefore been taken away from their parents.

A campaign has now been launched by the organisation which includes the key signs to look out for to see if a fawn has actually been abandoned or is in need of assistance.
