The litter of four black kittens will soon be available for rehoming.

A cyclist found a lone kitten in Commerce Street near to the busy A56 bypass, and rang the sanctuary. Cat rescuer Rosie Allan raced down and collected the babies but could not capture the mum cat, who is around 18 months old.

The charity appealed for help and she was reunited with her babies after a lady trapped her a day or two later.

Sanctuary manager, Karen Weed, believes the kittens had been in the bag for a few days and one of them wandered out after the mum managed to open it.

The charity is now looking for people to adopt them, as well as a host of other cats - especially black cats.
