An Edinburgh cat was tragically put down this week after the animal became impaled and stuck on a rusty fence pole.
Desperate attempts had been made to save the animal by both neighbours and the animal welfare charity after it was found in a communal garden on Monday, September 26.
Discovered by neightbour Marie-Claire Longden, the grey cat was seen with its leg impaled on the sharp pole, and had been left unable to free itself.
