The organisation is now appealing for anyone who recognises the man to come forward. It is not known if the cat belonged to him.
RSPCA assistant director of inspectorate, Dermot Murphy, told the London Evening Standard: We would like to hear from anyone who saw this incident or who recognises the street in which it occurred so we can look further into this.
‘It is completely unacceptable to treat a cat in this way and he or she could well have suffered some severe injuries from such a brutal kick.
‘We understand that such acts of cruelty can be very upsetting and emotive and we would urge anyone who does recognise the culprit or area to pass the information on to us and not be tempted to act on it themselves.’
