Thin kitty - been in a bad cat fight

Leia from Hornby

Hello neighbours, just wondering if anyone recognises this cat. I'm sorry the photos are so bad, I was having to use a torch in one hand and my phone in the other. I also know you're not supposed to feed random cats but it looked so thin that I had a moment of weakness so I'm sorry … View moreHello neighbours, just wondering if anyone recognises this cat. I'm sorry the photos are so bad, I was having to use a torch in one hand and my phone in the other. I also know you're not supposed to feed random cats but it looked so thin that I had a moment of weakness so I'm sorry for that too! Kitty was also quite dirty, there was fur ALL over the street this morning (I'm on Dunluce Place) and when I patted this cat this evening I could feel all the scratches on it's skin so I'm assuming that the fur belongs to this kitty. Fur was also very thin over its whole back (you can see a patch by it's shoulders in the photos). It's a gingery tabby with white front and back legs, a white face and black nose and has curly hair on the back of it's back legs with a very fluffy tail. PLEASE if this is your cat or you recognise it can you let me know because I'm really worried about him/her!

Fendalton Library and Service Centre reopens on Monday 29 July after five months of refurbishment and repairs.

During the closure, the Citizen & Customer Services team have done a great job providing centre services at a nearby pop-up centre in Fendalton Village. They’ll be returning to a new customer service desk which brings staff out into an open space.

All of the usual services will be available, including postal services. Facility users will also appreciate a new heating and ventilation system which will provide a much more pleasant and consistent building temperature, and the addition of several new car parks behind the library.
