A MOTHER cat and three kittens sheltering in a shed in Hayes were rescued by the RSPCA.
The kittens, who are just two weeks old, were weak. Two of the litter had already died when they were discovered with their mother, a stray, in a shed in Botwell Crescent.
Animal Rescue Officer Jade Guthrie came to the aid of the tortoiseshell cat and her offspring.
She said: “This adorable trio and their mum were quite weak and lethargic and were in need of some TLC.
“They have now been taken to our local branch, where they are receiving some much-needed care and attention and are doing well.”The kittens have been named April, May and June, and their mum has been called Easter by staff at the branch.
The RSPCA is bracing itself for a busy kitten season. This is the time, typically between May and September, when most kittens are born.
