We were contacted by a member of the public who was concerned that they found a Mother who was scrounging at the bins in order to feed her kittens.

We found them in these conditions (see gallery photos) in an unused area of a building which was full of old furniture and was very damp. Whenever our volunteers tried to catch them they hid under an unused boiler and we had to set traps. We managed it with the help of a member of the public and now they are all in foster care.

We have heard that this was not the Mother's first litter but it will now be her last as we will arrange for her to be spayed, chipped and vaccinated before going to her new home.

We are raising money in order that we can help more cats and kittens like this in our area and we would be grateful for any support you can give. Thank you
