Rascal the cat (Clarence Rd/La Rose Lane)

I know Rascal is a bit of a local celebrity and I’ve been told by several people that he has a home, but I don’t actually know who his owner is.

I’m asking because I’ve noticed over the last few times I’ve seen him that he’s become much thinner. Today I could easily feel his spine and pelvis when I stroked him, and I’ve also noticed patches of missing fur on both sides.

I’m not trying to make assumptions or accuse anyone of anything. I’d just really like to know that someone knows who his owner is and that he’s being looked after, or is seeing a vet if he needs one.

If anyone knows who he belongs to, or knows whether he’s okay, I’d really appreciate it if you could let me know (or let his owner know people are a little worried about him). He’s such a lovely cat and I’d just like some reassurance that he’s alright - and would more than happy to offer support if the owner needs it.
