Kitten is left on doorstep

The Scottish SPCA is appealing for information after a kitten was abandoned in a box.

Scotland’s animal welfare charity was called after a resident of Woodburn Drive, Dalkeith, opened his door to find the 11-week-old female cat on Sunday afternoon.

The kitten, who has been named Emma, is now being cared for at the charity’s Edinburgh and Lothians Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre.

Rescue officer Emma Phillips said: “Emma was frightened.”
