STAFF at an animal rescue centre were amazed when a lost cat found its way there - despite having its head stuck in a food can.

STAFF at an animal rescue centre were amazed when a lost cat found its way there - despite having its head stuck in a food can.

The pet was discovered by workers at the centre in Fife with a Whiskas tin lodged up to its neck.

The Scottish SPCA, which runs the unit, said the female must have been scavenging and got her head stuck. They say she was lucky not to have been hit by a car.

The cat wandered into the centre on Sunday morning and, after being checked over, was transferred to the Scottish SPCA's rescue unit in Balerno, Edinburgh.

Her owner has yet to come forward.
