The RSPCA is appealing for information after a member of the public witnessed a cat in a box being thrown out of a car.

Reporting the incident to the RSPCA, the member of the public said they were driving over Gelligaer Common towards Bargoed at around 10pm on Sunday May 3, when the incident took place.

The caller said they pulled over to let a navy blue car pass with a man aged approximately 35 to 40 driving. When they passed, a box was thrown out of the back window onto the caller’s bonnet which burst open. A black and white female cat fell out.

RSPCA inspector Sophie Daniels said: “This must have been a very shocking incident for the caller to witness. It is was lucky that the cat was not injured from the box being thrown from the car.

“The cat has been taken to a veterinary surgery for an examination and sadly appears to be blind. She also has a lump on her neck.

“The cat doesn’t have a microchip so we can’t trace her owners.

“We are appealing for information to try and find more about this incident and to also try and track down her owners.”

Anyone with information can call 0300 123 8018. Calls are treated in confidence.

  • A new health board initiative is changing the way menopause care is delivered in GP surgeries across Gwent. The Menopause Champions Project, introduced in June this year by Aneurin Bevan University Health Board, aims to give patients going through menopause better access to informed and consistent support from their local practice teams. The scheme was developed by Dr Jayne Forrester-Paton, a menopause and sexual and reproductive health specialist, alongside Dr Michelle Olver, clinical lead of the menopause team, and nurse consultant Nikki Noble. Together, they set out to equip GPs and practice nurses with up-to-date knowledge and practical tools to improve care. So far, 41 GP practices in the region now have a trained “Menopause Champion” — a clinician who can provide advice and guidance on both hormonal and non-hormonal treatment options. These champions are backed by a network of colleagues and specialists to help them stay confident in managing more complex cases. Dr Forrester-Paton said the project had already made a strong start and would continue to grow: “We are proud of how successful this project has been so far and will continue to grow, with plans to expand educational sessions for clinicians, offer virtual case discussions to improve care for complex menopause cases and strengthen the collaboration between primary care and specialist menopause services. “The Menopause Champions Project is helping to ensure that menopause is treated with the same care and attention as any other health issue, giving patients the support they need, when they need it.”
