Unwanted litters lead to lots of kittens in need of re-homing at Northamptonshire's Animals In Need
An animal charity is urging people to consider them if they’re looking to get a new kitten.
The plea from Animals In Need in Little Irchester, near Wellingborough, comes as today (Wednesday) is National Kittens Day.
Sanctuary manager Annie Marriott told this newspaper: “Unfortunately as cute as they are, this time of year finds rescue centres bursting at the seams with unwanted litters.
"These are just a selection of the many felines currently in our catteries.
"They all leave us neutered, fully vaccinated, chipped, parasite treated with four weeks’ free insurance and rescue back-up for life.”
Animals In Need has been helping rescue and re-home animals of all shapes and sizes for more than 30 years, including re-homing more than 400 animals during 2023.
The charity also has a wildlife unit.
Anyone interested in re-homing any of these kittens should visit the Animals In Need website for more details or email [email protected]
