Kitten rescued near King's Lynn after being tied in bag and 'dumped'
The RSPCA are investigating
A kitten's been rescued near King's Lynn after being tied up in a plastic bag and "dumped like rubbish".
The RSPCA says the young kitten was found abandoned in Broad Grove in Grimston over the weekend.
Despite her ordeal the six-week old female Tabby is said to be doing well - she was discovered by a dog walker.
Animal Rescue Officer (ARO) Naomi Sadoff, who rescued the kitten, said: “This poor kitten had been tied up in a plastic bag and dumped like rubbish on the street.
"She was lucky someone found her when she did or she could have suffocated, starved or been thrown in the bin. Thankfully, a dog walker spotted her and contacted us.
“She was discovered inside a plain white plastic bag with bits of yesterday’s newspaper. She is uninjured and generally in good health considering the circumstances.
"We know that some people may be struggling to afford to care for their pets at the moment but there is never an excuse to abandon an animal like this and tying this poor kitten up in a plastic bag was callous and cruel.
“I’m now appealing for anyone who may have seen anything in Broad Grove on Sunday to please contact the inspectorate appeal line on 0300 123 8018.”
The young kitten has now been taken to the RSPCA Block Fen Animal Centre in Cambridgeshire for some care and attention.
