West Ham defender Kurt Zouma has not yet been offered animal welfare courses from the RSPCA. Hammers boss David Moyes spoke at his press conference on Friday and said he 'thinks' Zouma will be offered help in terms of courses. But the RSPCA have not yet reached out.
An RSPCA statement claims that "there have been no plans made for animal welfare courses to be undertaken" and they have "not been offered or accepted a donation."
It continues: "Our focus remains entirely on our experienced officers carrying out a full and thorough investigation."
The Hammers are still deciding which animal welfare charities will receive the donation and a decision may not be made until after the RSPCA have concluded their investigation.
West Ham fined Zouma the maximum amount possible earlier this week after a video emerged of him kicking and slapping his pet cat.
The Hammers will donate the £250,000 - which equates to two weeks of Zouma's wages - to animal charities.
Both of Zouma's cats have been handed over to the RSPCA after the incident.

Zouma, who has apologised for his actions, has been widely condemned for the video but he remains available for selection for West Ham.
Adidas have dropped their sponsorship of the 27-year-old and insurance company Vitality have suspended their association with the Hammers.
Moyes was again asked about Zouma's situation as he addressed the media ahead of Sunday's match against Leicester.
The former Everton and Manchester United boss insisted Zouma will be in the squad for the trip to the King Power despite the player set to be axed by France, his international team.
