After finding a young tabby cat in a garbage bag with a surgically-inserted feeding tube, Toronto officials are seeking an owner and witnesses.

A city works crew noticed a cardboard box moving on the side of the road at 4220 Midland Ave., a shopping plaza near Steeles Ave., around noon Tuesday.

A worker called Toronto Animal Services, who found a black plastic garbage bag inside containing a 1- to 2-year-old female cat with medium-long red fur. They named the cat Wilma, after the red-haired Flintstones character.
