A Scottish animal welfare charity is appealing for information after seven cats went missing in the Howgill area of Annan.
The Scottish SPCA was alerted by a tenant who said they had lost five cats in six months, and were also notified of two other felines that had gone missing in the area.
SPCA chief superintendent Mike Flynn said: ‘While it’s a sad reality that cats go missing every day, seven within such a small area and short time frame is very concerning.
‘There may also be more incidents that we are not aware of.’
