The unfortunate cat which was found in Bristol - covered in cement. See SWNS story SWSOLID; These photos show an unfortunate moggy who was discovered on a doorstep - covered from top to tail in solid CONCRETE. When Faye Richards saw the little ginger tom huddled outside her front door she didn't know it was a cat at first - and thought it was a bundle of PARCEL TAPE. It was only when she got closer that she realised the grey mess was actually a concrete-coated kitty - which was so slathered in the stuff, he couldn't even open his eyes. The mum-of-two, of Withywood, Bristol, rushed the stray animal to a nearby vet practice, where he had his hair shaved and the concrete combed out of his coat.



A mum-of-two opened her front door to find a ginger cat covered in concrete.

At first, Faye Richards, from Bristol, thought she was looking at a bundle of parcel tape and the cat had so much concrete over its body that it could not even open its eyes.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, the 39-year-old said: "The concrete had started to go rock hard on his back, but his belly was still soaking wet and he could barely open his eyes

"He couldn't even move. He was crying a lot and shivering. He was really cold."

Faye took the cat to a vet where the concrete was shaved off.

Vet Adam Sheridan told the Bristol Post: "Most of his top coat was covered in concrete and it was matting together. We attempted to groom as much out of the fur as we could, but we had to take the decision to shave him.

"We didn't want to bathe him as baths can be very stressful for cats, and we didn't want to move the concrete on to his skin or close to his mouth because of the minerals within it."

He added that he believes the cat may have been targeted in a malicious attack as cats are not normally attracted to wet concrete due to the soft feel.

Last week, a cat was rescued from a rooftop in Wales during rainy weather after getting its head stuck in a crisp packet.

The RSPCA was called out to rescue the ginger cat in Llanelli after it was spotted on top of a house on Thursday.

RSPCA inspector Rohan Barker said: "He looked very wet as it was raining quite heavily. It was very odd to see that a crisp packet was stuck on his head which he could not get off."
