An appeal has been launched by the Scottish SPCA after children in Fife found three healthy kittens dumped in a vodka box in a local park.
The dumped kittens were discovered by children as they played in the Gallatown Park area of Kirkcaldy on October 14.
Scottish SPCA inspector Robyn Gray said they were inside a vodka box that appears to have been used as storage.
The charity thinks the kittens, two males and one female, are around 12 weeks old.
Locals in Fife who have any information about the kittens were asked to come forward as an appeal for information is launched by the animal charity.
Robyn Gray said: “The kittens are all around 12 weeks old and there are two males and one female.
“They are semi-longhaired and all have distinctive markings so we’re sure someone must recognise them.
“The kittens were found in a vodka box that appears to have been used for moving or storage in the past. The box is marked ‘tops’ and dated from 2017.
This is not the proper way to give up an animal if you can no longer care for them
SSPCA inspector Robyn Gray
“The animals were found in the park at around 2pm and can’t have been there for long as both they and the cardboard box they were in were dry despite the wet weather.
“The kittens were in good condition and did not have any injuries, illnesses or fleas so they have clearly been well cared for up to this point.
“Although we appreciate the owner may have meant for these cats to be found, this is not the proper way to give up an animal if you can no longer care for them.”
Anyone who has any information on the incident is being asked to contact the SSPCA’s confidential animal helpline on 03000 999 999.
