One local resident on Narberth Road, Tenby, woke recently to find a rather unusual delivery on their doorstep - a young cat and her three kittens!

All animals, which were in good health, had been hidden in a carry crate covered with a towel to hide them.

The animals were left between 12.30 am and 6 am on June 7.

The surprised house owners rang the very helpful people at Greenacres who came out and collected them that day.

While Greenacres Animal Rescue have had animals abandoned on their own doorstep, they had never heard of them being randomly discarded like this. The cats were not micro-chipped, so there is no way of tracing their original owners.

The person who dumped them might like to know that cat and kittens are doing well and will be re-homed in due course.
