An appeal has been launched after litters of kittens were dumped in Kirkcaldy.

They were taken into the care of a Fife cat sanctuary after being found in the town’s Inchgarvie Road area and passed on to the SSPCA.

The most recent incident happened on Sunday.

Newburgh based Whinnybank Cat Sanctuary collected the kittens in their boxes.

On its Facebook page, the charity urged those responsible to get in touch.

“These kittens need their mother's milk to give them a better chance to survive. If you come forward we will not discriminate - we are here to help,” it said.

On the discovery of the second box of kittens, the charity added: “All you needed to do was phone for help. These poor babies have no mum to bring them on. Please, please do not do this. Lift the phone and ask us for help.”
