Kittens seen walking around without mothers are saved by vet nurses
Staff at a business on an industrial estate became worried when they noticed tiny kittens walking around without any sign of their mothers.
They watched two litters at the Oswestry Waste Paper premises in the hope the parents would return.
But getting worried they would not survive alone they telephoned the town's Park Issa vets and the nurses there stepped in to help.
The two litters, nine kittens in all, were taken into the vets on Salop Road.
Michelle Davies, head nurse, said it was very likely that the mothers may have been run over.
She took responsibility for the youngest litter and kept them at her home, hand rearing them.
"I had the five kittens at home with me for about three weeks, getting up every four hours in the night to feed them," she said.
"The older litter maybe six or seven weeks old lived at Park Issa during the day and the nurses took it in turns to take them home at night.
"They have all done really really well and are now thriving.
"And thankfully they all now have homes to go to. We didn't even have to advertise them.
"Some have been found homes by the staff at Oswestry Waste Paper."
Michelle said the company had also offered to foot the bill for the care of the kittens.
"We made it clear that we would give up our time to look after them and they could made a donation for the food," she added.
"Also we suggested they could donate to a cats charity."
