Eight kittens have been found abandoned in a box in Ashtead Woods.

They were taken to Wildlife Aid Foundation in Leatherhead and are now being cared for by Byfleet Cat Rescue volunteers.

The kittens are believed to come from three different litters and are reportedly healthy, though concerns remain that more may be missing.

One kitten is thought to be only around five weeks old, an age when kittens still rely on their mother’s milk.

The charity is asking for information and says all reports will be kept confidential, with animal welfare as the main priority.
