The kittens were very friendly when they were discovered, but sadly, they were both riddled with fleas.

Naomi Sadoff, an Animal Rescue Officer for the RSPCA who picked the kittens up, said: "We are grateful to the member of the public who found these poor kittens and kept them safe.

"They had been found inside a black holdall bag and there were some biscuits inside. Neither cat was microchipped."

"Both kittens were very friendly and it's so sad to think someone just abandoned them in this way."

The kittens are now in the care of the RSPCA.

The RSPCA are appealing for information about the kittens, anyone with information can call the RSPCA’s appeals line on 0300 123 8018 quoting incident 1216332.
