Alert after suspected cat poisoning in Carmarthenshire | UK News

Pet owners have been warned to remain vigilant following suspected cat poisonings in Carmarthenshire.

Three-year-old feline Luna had to be put to sleep by veterinarians after being poisoned last month.

O RSPCA issued an appeal following a series of other suspected poisonings in the Kidwelly area.

The charity says it is not known whether the poisonings are deliberate or accidental.

The advice given to anyone who thinks their cat may have been poisoned is to move it away from the source and contact a vet.

Luna, who “couldn’t move or walk,” was brought home by neighbors on July 29.

“She appeared to be drunk,” said her owner, Ben McQueen.

“She didn’t want to do anything or eat anything.”

McQueen said the family was “devastated” and that Luna’s death was “a huge financial and emotional toll”.

“Now we are afraid for our other cats and the other cats in the neighborhood,” he said.

McQueen added that he was also aware of two other recently poisoned cats in the area.

Andrew Harris, a animal RSPCA rescue officer, said: “At this time we do not know whether these were accidental or deliberate incidents, but we urge the community to be vigilant and be aware of the symptoms of poisoning.

“If you suspect your pet has been poisoned, take him to the veterinarian immediately.”

Symptoms of poisoning may include convulsions, vomiting, drowsiness, difficulty breathing, and appearing drunk and uncoordinated.
