A litter of adorable kittens have been found dumped in a metal cage in Scots woods.
The shocking discovery was made by a member of the public near Drumshoreland Road in Pumpherston, West Lothian, on November 1. After taking the trio of 10-week-old animals home, the concerned local reported the incident to the Scottish SPCA.
The animal welfare charity said that although the kittens were distressed, they were unharmed from the incident. Officers have hit out at those responsible for abandoning the cats - stating it is 'not the right way' to give up an animal you can no longer care for.
