THESE kittens who have been fostered in Newton Aycliffe desperately need to find new homes.

They are among more than 20 kittens and cats who have been taken in by the RSPCA.

Vanessa Robinson, auxiliary secretary for Darlington and Durham South and North Yorkshire RSPCA, said: "We are urgently appealing for new homes. We can't take any more cats or kittens if we are asked because we are full.

"We have a lot of lovely older kittens aged between six months and a year, most of them are black or black and white. At this age they are much easier to look after.

"These cats are lovely and do deserve a proper home."

All the cats taken in by the RSPCA are tested for feline Aids and leukemia and are micro-chipped and neutered.

Anyone who thinks they may be able to give one of the cats or kittens a home is asked to call (01325) 377878.
