Peterborough kitten litter found by city litter pickers
The Wombles group had been clearing litter from Bishops Road to the Embankment in the city when they came across the kittens.Group member Harry Machin said it was "certainly the most unusual litter we have found for quite a while".The kittens - four of which were grey and white, and two of which were black - had probably not been in the box very long, a spokesperson from the cat charity said.Food had been left in the box and there were no signs of flies or excrement, or evidence the kittens had been trying to claw their way out.The healthy kittens will be placed for adoption when they are old enough, the charity said.
