I'm surprised Angela (pudding) hasn't posted about this. I went for lunch with Sharon last Friday and she told me about this cat.
A man who lives in Spain was over here as his father had died and he was sorting out the effects. He looked in the shed and there was a tiny skin-and-bone elderly cat in there. He phoned the branch (not sure who he spoke to) and explained that he had phoned the RSPCA who (surprise surprise) weren't interested. He asked the neighbours and one said 'oh, you mean the cat we have been throwing water at?'

Anyway, he was frantic as he said he had to go back to Spain but the cat was obviously desperately in need of help. Angela collected the cat (apparently the man hugged Angela and was in tears

)
It was taken to a vet - it weighed 1.5kg

(I said to Sharon surely that wasn't possible but she assured me it was true) the cat is hyperthyroid and luckily, despite everything, no other major health issues - amazing considering how it had been living and being over 18

She has started gaining weight

I'm pretty sure Sharon said Angela had the cat originally but she will be going to Caroline to be taken care of.
I'm sure Angela or Julie can fill in the gaps or correct any errors
