Dumped: Kittens left in a bag in Gilmerton

The Scottish SPCA has issued an appeal after two kittens were found abandoned in Edinburgh.

The kittens were found in the Gilmerton area by a member of the public, who handed them in to Vets for Pets in Dundee. The surgery alerted the Scottish SPCA who launched the appeal.

Animal rescue officer Zoe Paul said: “The kittens are around five or six months old and were found in the early hours of the morning inside a red fabric cat carrier.

Cute kitties are now seeking a forever home

“One kitten is male and one is female- they are both black and white.

“Although we appreciate that the owner may have intended the kittens to be found, this is not the correct procedure if you wish to give up an animal for rehoming.

“We are keen to trace the owner of these animals. If anyone recognises these kittens, please contact our confidential animal helpline on 03000 999 999.”
