Miaow could you? Tipton cats appeal for love
Cats can normally get what they want by just throwing their owner a mournful look - but two moggies that were dumped outside a vets in Tipton have put their feelings into words.
The cats, found in a box outside Vets for Pets on Dudley Port, came with a note pleading with veterinary staff to help them find their new home.
While pets being dumped by owners who no longer want them may not be uncommon, the note came as a surprise to staff.
Veterinary partner Jo Day said: "I came in on Tuesday morning and I expected it just to be an average day. I found a cat box on the doorstep with two cats in there and a little not folded up."
The note, written as if the cats had penned it themselves, asked staff to help them find a new owner.
"It said 'please help us find a new home. We are sisters and we have never been separated. We are five-years-old and are indoor cats," Mrs Day said.
The letter also said the cats 'just love to be cuddled' and wanted a new home together.
The vets has had difficulty finding the cats a temporary home with many re-homing centres in the Black Country close to bursting point.
Anyone interested in giving the cats a home should call Vets for Pets on 0121 557 7711.
