Hide AdScotland’s animal welfare charity was alerted after the male cat was found abandoned in a pet carrier outside Christ Church Edinburgh on Britwell Crescent in Craigentinny.
Senior Inspector John Toule said, “The feline is in good condition but he doesn’t have a tag or microchip to identify his owners.
“He’s now safely at our centre in Edinburgh where he has been named Lazareth.
“He’s an unneutered male and has such a soft, silky coat so if no one comes forward we’re sure we’ll easily be able to rehome him.”
