Multiple reports describe a March incident in which police and the RSPCA enter the London home of a 79-year-old woman and seize her cat. The woman, Dr Katherine Theodotou, says the cat—identified as Rita, a 17-month-old black and white animal with a disability—was being well cared for at her home. According to the reports, the seizure follows concerns raised about the cat’s welfare, prompting the charity to take the animal into its custody. After the raid, Rita is placed into foster care and later dies while in that setting, according to the reports. Dr Theodotou is reported to be suing the RSPCA and the Met Police over the raid and the subsequent handling of the animal. The accounts focus on the circumstances of the home entry, the removal of Rita, and the cat’s death in foster care, while also noting the woman’s dispute with the welfare concerns cited for the seizure.
