RSPCA Cymru rescue two kittens dumped in Barry

The two kittens nicknamed Belle and Holly by the RSPCA are around 12-14 weeks old and were found at a bus stop around 8pm on November 28th and are doing well at the rescue home.

If an owner is not found they will be rehomed.

RSPCA inspector Sophie Daniels said: “They must have been so frightened left in the cold and in the dark.

“Luckily, they were found by someone who lives nearby who took them in at around 8pm. They were found in a carrier with a blanket and toys.

“We’re now appealing to anyone who saw anything to contact the RSPCA’s appeal line on 0300 123 8018.

“As a charity, we rely entirely on donations to keep our rescue teams on the road.

"We’re calling on animal lovers to help us make sure animals don’t pay the price of the cost of living crisis this Christmas.

The RSPCA is concerned that more animals will be relinquished, or even abandoned, in the face of rising costs.

A misunderstanding about the true cost of pet ownership is one of the main reasons why the RSPCA believes that animals end up being abandoned.

Anyone considering taking on a pet is urged to do their research first and to consider rescuing instead of buying.
