The RSPCA says the cat could be a lost pet which was the victim of a prank.
The RSPCA have criticised a "sick prank" in which a cat had its fur dyed pink and was then thrown over a garden fence in Swindon.
Officers are looking for the owner of the cat, which was found by a man in his garden in Wesley Street on 18 September.
The two-year-old, who has been named Pink, is said to be in good health.
However, vets have not been able to wash the dye out of her fur and she will have to wait for it to grow out.
It is thought the naturally white domestic short-haired cat is either a stray or has been abandoned.
This is because the fur around her neck has a pattern which suggests she has been wearing a collar fairly recently. 'Poor creature'
But the RSPCA said she could be someone's missing pet who was the victim of a prank.
Veterinary surgeon Penny Gillespie, who is caring for Pink at Cheldene Veterinary Centre and Boarding Cattery, said: "We have no idea what the dye is or how long it will last.
"It is clearly not toxic but still unpleasant.
"The person responsible has covered her thoroughly all over but avoided putting any around the animal's eyes and nose.
"Further washing would stress Pink and probably would not help to remove the colour so it will be case of waiting for it to grow out."

OK is it horrible that I laughed my ass off at the video clip? The cat doesn’t seem any worse for the wear, thank goodness.
They dyed its tongue too? Those bass turds! LOL!
Not so strange, when I was a kid I dyed a white cat blue. It would have looked good with this one.
Awwwwwwwww
Pink is adorable.
Well, good on 'em for THAT at least...
Perfect job for this kitten for the next 18 months: breast cancer awareness. Goodness knows everything else at the grocery store, etc. is pink for that cause!
It’s a Brazilian?
Wow! The world is full of all kinds of people eh?
Because humans are making a choice to do something to themselves and the animal is having something done to it by force.
What about adolescents?
I'm sure the cat is enormously distressed by the fact that it has pink fur.
Can we get a lawsuit here somewhere on behalf of the poor psychologically distressed cat?
Ahh well.
This passes for a major event in the Bitchdom of England…oh noooo a pink putty-cat.
And how is this sick, and why is it bothering anyone, or is this about the real color of fur or institutional animalism and discrimination.
Where’s Inspector Clueso when you need him?
I used to see girls with hot pink hair in the capitol hill district of Seattle all the time. Does that make them sick, too?
Clouseau: My doog has no nose.
Dreyfus: How does he smell?
Clouseau: Awful!
