Two Wolverhampton Police officers who rescued a pair of abandoned kittens have taken them in themselves.

The kittens, who are about four months old, were found in a cardboard box that had been dumped in a hedge in Wednesfield.

After the officers rescued the feline friends, a vet checked them over and said they were in good health, but would need someone to look after them.

PCs Pete McKinnon and Ross Brant each decided to take on the role of cat dad, with Pete homing Jessica, a black and white kitten, and Ross taking in Pumpkin, who is all black.

The force shared some adorable photos of the officers with their new pets, who seem to have warmed to their saviours already.

Wolverhampton city centre inspector Sophie Clement said: "It's great to see how caring these two are.

"Our officers do always strive to have the best cat-ittude, so give them a wave and say hello when you see them out and about in the city."
