For the second time this month, kittens have been found dumped in the Milton Keynes area.
Late last night, Milton Keynes and District Cat Protection volunteers were called after a local dog walker spotted kittens dumped on the side of a country road.
When volunteers arrived, five kittens were found inside an IKEA bag, along with a very frightened mum cat hiding in bushes nearby.
The charity says all the kittens have been taken into its care but unfortunately, the mum cat was too difficult to catch and managed to disappear.
Volunteers are still continuing to search for the mum.
"We desperately urge people to contact us rather than abandon kittens and cats like this! We’re very lucky a late night dog walker stumbled across them when they did," the charity said in a post on social media.
"We can also help with neutering costs and give advice and support if needed! There will be no judgement, just help and support.
"Well done to our amazing volunteers for their hard work and dedication."
The charity has said it will not be taking adoption inquiries.
Just last week, a local dog was hailed 'local hero' after sniffing out seven kittens who were dumped on bin day in the city.
Thankfully, all seven kittens were found safe and taken to the vets.
