Charity rescues cat sold for £30 on Vinted

A three-year-old cat was rescued after being listed for sale at £30 on the online marketplace Vinted, with the buyer being the founder of Left Paw Cat Rescue. The seller did not conduct any checks before handing over the cat, which violated Vinted’s rules against selling animals. The charity noted the low price indicated a lack of value placed on the cat’s life, and while the cat is currently scared and hiding in its foster home, it is now safe. Vinted stated it uses software to detect banned listings and encourages users to report inappropriate items.
