Small enough to fit in your hand at just three weeks old, Cinders, Flame and Ember were left vulnerable and without a mother to protect them at this vital time. Heard crying they were rescued by firefighters who had been called in to put out a field fire. They still smelt of smoke when they were brought to us.

Kittens this small need specialised care. Including feeding them milk every two hours by hand, which over the first month adds up to 65-70 hours of time dedicated by our team.

As well as regular feeding, each of these kittens also need a warm place to stay. Plus vaccinations and neutering when they are old enough to keep them fit and healthy. This year we've looked after 45 kittens including these new arrivals. We see around 150 kittens each year, and costs soon mount up across kitten season!

Will you help us look after kittens in desperate need like Cinders, Flame and Ember?

- plus essential veterinary treatment including neutering so that they can be happily rehomed. For every £100 we raise we will be able to save a kitten in need like Cinders, Ember and Flame.
