My husband was in the allotment yesterday and heard a rustling behind one of our wood piles and noticed a cat with her two tiny kittens. We think she has given birth nearby and has been sheltering in the wood pile.
I have phoned the RSPCA and two of our local animal shelters but apparently they do not catch and take in feral cats. The three of them do look healthy enough, although the mother looks a little on the thin side. We have put some water out for them and I've noticed the mother lets them play in the allotment while she goes hunting. The allotment has a fence all around it and is secure, we have also put lids on all of our water butts. I guess when they are old enough they will move on, at the moment they are enjoying the sun and peace and quiet.
I managed to take a photo of one of the kittens, a ginger tabby, the other one is a grey tabby like her mother, the grey one is a little shy and was hiding.
