THE Scottish SPCA is appealing for information after a kitten was abandoned in woodland near Kelty.

Scotland’s animal welfare charity was alerted when the kitten was discovered at Blairadam Forest in Kelty on Monday.

The four month old female kitten is now in the care of the Scottish SPCA’s animal rescue and rehoming centre in Angus, where she has been named Molly.

Inspector Sarah Gregory said: “Someone walking their dogs came across two pet carriers at around 11.30am.

“The doors of the carriers had been left open and Molly was sitting on top of one of them.

“One of the carriers is distinctive as it is black and silver with the RAC logo on it.

“We suspect there were two cats abandoned but unfortunately we couldn’t find the other one."

Added Sarah: “No food or water had been left and if Molly hadn’t been found she would have died of starvation. We are also very worried that there has been a second kitten abandoned which has run off.

“We would ask people who walk in this area to keep an eye out and contact us if they come across a cat.

“If anyone has information about who abandoned Molly they should call our animal helpline on 03000 999 999.”
