RSPCA appeal after three tiny kittens are dumped at side of Nottinghamshire road
A member of the public came across a red Aldi shopping bag left dumped outside Lyn Gilzean Court on St Ann's Well Road, Nottingham, at about 7.30pm on Monday May 1.
They heard noises coming from the bag so looked inside and found a shoebox containing a black and white male kitten and two tortoiseshell female kittens believed to be about three weeks old.

Hide AdRSPCA Inspector Dave McAdam, who is investigating the incident, is appealing for anyone with information about who dumped the kittens to get in touch.
He said: "These kittens are tiny and so vulnerable, it is disgusting that someone callously just dumped them like pieces of rubbish.
“It was lucky they were found when they were or obviously they could have easily died.
“There is never an excuse to dump an animal when there is help available through charities such as the RSPCA.”
