Abandoned cat found with tragic note pleading for owner who will 'love me more'
A kitten has broken hearts after she was discovered with a note tied around her neck pleading to be taken in by someone who can "love me more".
The poor creature was taken in by the RSPCA after her sorry owner penned the letter explaining they could no longer look after her.
One-year-old Lilo was left with instructions for her next owner to take care of her, explaining she loved nothing more than to snuggle on the bed and play biscuits on blankets.
“My name is Lilo (Lee-Low) and I am one,” the note read.
“My mummy is sorry and she loves me very much but she can’t keep me anymore.

“I love treats and soft blankets to make biscuits on. I am an indoor cat too. I love to play and am very independent but I do love a snuggle and to sleep on the end of the bed at night.
“I’m a good girl and my mummy hopes someone will love me more. Please take care of me.”

Staff at the RSPCA's Manchester and Salford branch, where Lilo has been taken in, said she had since been re-homed with a new owner who could give her all the love she needed.
“This is Lilo," the team wrote on their Facebook page.
"She was found abandoned with this note. She was a very frightened, timid cat but thanks to the details provided by her owner we were able to place in a foster home that replicated her original home.
“She soon settled and forged a strong relationship with her foster mom. This enabled us to introduce her to new people and find Lilo the purrfect match of an adopter for her.
“Today we are taking Lilo to her new, furever home to a very excited adopter. We want to say a special thank you to her foster mom (she's American!) and her adopted mum, for without them both we could not have made this happen.
"A great success based on team work.”

Another wrote: “Very sad the lady couldn’t keep her. But she did the right thing. I hope she sees this and knows her beautiful girl is fine.”
Another post said: “You can tell from the note the owner loved her very much and how sad she was about letting her go. I hope she can see this and know Lilo is in a good place.”
One other posted: “Awww that notes very sad. I'm glad the lady did the right thing, glad it's a happy ending.”
