A starving cat left abandoned in a filthy flat for nine days in Greater Manchester has found a loving new home.
RSPCA inspectors discovered the stricken pet, called Freya, locked in a rubbish-strewn flat in Wigan, Greater Manchester, along with another cat called Minnie.
The pair had made several attempts to escape through the front door but failed, until an RSPCA inspector spotted one of the cats frantically moving its paw through a gap at the bottom of the door – and went on to rescue the moggies.
New owner Helen Howlett said Freya has brought “so much joy” to her life.
