RSPCA Cymru is appealing for information after four kittens were dumped in a crisp box on the side of a Cardiff road. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The 12-week-old black and tortie kittens were spotted in the early hours of Saturday morning (22 October) on the side of the road at Station Road between Llanishen and Lisvane. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

RSPCA inspector Sophie Daniels said: “These poor kittens must have been so frightened being left alone in a cardboard box in the dark. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“We don’t know how long they were there for, but thankfully they were spotted and a kind passer-by took them home. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“The kittens – one male and three females – have had a vet check and they are in all good health. They are really friendly and are really lovely kittens. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“We’ve decided to name them Wotsit, Pringle, Dorito and Quaver. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“They have not been microchipped so at the moment we can’t identify their owner. Inside the cardboard box there was a red blanket. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The cats are currently at RSPCA’s Merthyr Tydfil Clinic. If an owner is not found the kittens will be made available for rehoming. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
