Abandoned cat found in toilet of restaurant

This cat was a whisker away from disaster after being abandoned in a Derby restaurant toilet.

But thankfully he was discovered by a customer and has found a temporary home at the Cats Protection shelter in Dalbury Lees, where staff have named him Flush.



Flush, who is about 12 months old, was discovered by a customer in a women's toilet cubicle at Swiss Cottage restaurant, St Peter's Street. Manager Steve Jones said it was the first time an animal had been abandoned there.

He said: "A customer told us she found it in the cubicle. It was hard to tell if the cat was distressed or not but it was shaking and panting." Flush was picked up by the RSPCA and taken to Cats Protection.
