A cat found with a severed leg on Friday morning has been surrendered to the RSPCA.
Animal welfare officers received a report from Merriwa relating to a severely injured kitten in the morning.
Milo was rushed to RSPCA HQ in Malaga.
Photo: Supplied.Milo, a male ginger kitten, had just returned home when his owners noticed his left front leg had been severed.
When RSPCA inspector Sam arrived, Milo ran away and hid in the undercarriage of a car on the property.
The inspector could not get under the car, so called for a tow-truck.
The tow-truck arrived and lifted the car so that Sam could get underneath and retrieve the scared cat.
It was hiding in the engine bay, stuck in a very difficult place to reach, but Sam managed to retrieve him.
Timing was critical as the cat was losing a lot of blood.
Milo was rushed to RSPCA WA Animal Care Centre in Malaga where he is undergoing treatment.
Initial assessments suggest he is likely in shock and the vet team are currently making him comfortable, while preparing to amputate the rest of the leg.
If anyone has information about what happened to Milo, please call the RSPCA Cruelty Line on 1300 CRUELTY (278 3589).
