Five abandoned kittens arrive at a shelter, but one detail shocks rescuers

By Ludivine Mazzotti•

At the beginning of September, a local resident in Gloucestershire discovered five abandoned kittens.

The little ones were very young when they were found, at only about five weeks old.

Without their mother and the quick thinking of this kind resident, these kittens would have stood no chance of survival.

A striking detail

The man took the kittens to the Cotswolds Dogs & Cats Home. When they arrived at the shelter, the staff immediately noticed that the little ones had a unique feature.

Four of the five kittens were born with a rare tail deformity. Two of them have no tail at all, while the other two have extremely short bobtails.

Round-the-clock care

The kittens were named Patricia, Patrick, Pamela, Pauline and Petunia. Since their arrival, they have needed constant care. They have to be fed regularly, even during the night, and they are slowly learning how to use the litter tray. Slowly but surely, these five adorable little creatures are beginning to open up and trust humans.

For now, they still need to gain weight and strength. They should be ready to find their forever homes in the coming weeks. We wish Patricia, Patrick, Pamela, Pauline and Petunia all the best as they grow, and we send them lots of love.
