Kittens found at bus stop:
The RSPCA is appealing for information following the discovery of two kittens left at a bus stop on Michaelston Close in Barry.
Renamed Belle and Holly, they were found by a local resident on Monday, 28th November, within a carrier bag along with a blanket and some toys.
RSPCA Cymru 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 with owners struggling to cope with behavioural challenges and difficulties with pets bought during the pandemic.
A spokesperson from RSPCA added: “To Join the Christmas Rescue and help our rescuers be there for the animals in need, please visit our website.
“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 and anyone considering taking on a pet is urged by the animal charity to do their research first and to consider rescuing instead of buying.
