After Boiler Ordeal, RSPCA Seeks Experienced Adopter for Izzy

The case highlights rising pet abandonment that is stretching local RSPCA branches.

Overview

  • Izzy, rescued in February 2026 after being found upside down behind a boiler in an empty Inglemire home, is recovering at the RSPCA’s Bridlington branch cattery.
  • Animal Rescue Officer Lizzy Thompson eased the frightened one-year-old out with a towel, and a vet later found dehydration but no serious injuries.
  • She received routine flea and worm treatment, was transferred from a private boarding facility to the branch cattery, and has since had a full health check.
  • Staff have microchipped, neutered, and vaccinated her, and they say trauma still affects her behavior, so she needs a quiet, adult-only home with no other pets.
  • The branch reports no adoption enquiries so far, while supporters have raised nearly £200 toward her care as the charity logs more reports of abandoned animals than in the past five years.
