AN appeal for information has been launched after a terrified cat was found sealed in a cardboard box and abandoned.

The pet was cruelly left inside the box, which was sealed shut using sticky tape.

Fortunately, it was found by a passing member of public in Greenway, Frinton.

When the box was opened, they discovered a grey tabby cat inside with a tea towel.

RSPCA inspectors were called and went out to collect her.

Anyone with information about the cat should call the RSPCA on 03001 238018.
