New homes for kittens saved by Exeter garage team
The kittens were found huddled in a cardboard box in the bin store of an Exeter garage last month.
Seven kittens rescued from the bin store of an Exeter garage are now safely off to new homes.
The kittens were found huddled in a cardboard box at Vertu Land Rover on Matford Way, Exeter, last month.
They were discovered by vehicle technician Mike Dixon, and were taken to a nearby veterinary hospital by his colleague workshop controller Beth Cupper.
Vets found the litter were three males and four females, and aged just “three to four weeks old”. They were later passed to the care of Cats Protection - Devon Cat Centre.
Cats Protection set up an online fundraising appeal to help pay for the kittens’ care and, through support from the community, raised £833.
In an update shared to social media, Devon Cat Centre said: “We would like to thank everyone who donated to our Land Rover kitten appeal last month… We can’t thank you enough for your support and generosity.”
All seven cats - Bridget, Fred, Gretal, Louis, Von Trapp, Kurt, and Marta - named after characters from The Sound of Music, have been adopted and are now settling nicely into their new homes.
