Inspector Keith Ellis said: “The cat was very lethargic and not very lively, I think he was possibly disorientated which is why he hadn’t moved

“He has had his leg amputated and is castrated so he must have been owned at some point. It may be that he has been dumped with the car seat.

“He’s been checked over by a vet and is now in RSPCA care. If anyone recognises the cat or has any information for us they can ring our inspectorate appeal line on 0300 123 8018.”
