Penicuik kittens: Scottish SPCA issue appeal after two kittens were found alone in Midlothian woodland

Two adorable kittens have been found alone in the rain in some Midlothian woodland by a member of the public.

The Scottish SPCA have issued an appeal to find the owner of the kittens who were found in the Milton Bridge area of Penicuik.

Scottish SPCA animal rescue officer Nicola Andrews said “The kittens were found alone and soaking wet from the rain.

“The cats are young males aged approximately 10 weeks old and are very friendly and in good health so someone must be missing them.

“We’d like to find out who the kittens belong to. If anyone recognises them, please contact our confidential animal helpline on 03000 999 999.”

Scotland’s animal welfare charity was alerted to the incident around 7.30am on August 24.
