“She was underweight and had severe fur loss.
“She has been seen by a vet who has confirmed that she is suffering from a flea allergy and worms.
“I suspect she has been dumped and we want to hear from anyone who knows who she belongs to.
“She wasn’t microchipped and was not wearing a collar so at the moment there is no way of tracing her owner.”

He added: “She has already improved in the care of the wonderful staff at RSPCA Doncaster & Rotherham branch - where she has been named Sophie. She’s really friendly and affectionate and if no one comes forward she will be rehomed when she’s better.”
