High Wycombe: Three kittens are found dumped on alleyway

The trio of young black and white kittens had been dumped on Rutland Avenue in High Wycombe.

Kasib Yasin, 22, from High Wycombe was walking home from work on his usual route when he came face to face with a hissing cat he thought was going to attack him on Tuesday August 29.

The primary school teacher said: “I heard this soft meowing and to my surprise saw a box with three kittens inside.

“What surprised me the most is that when I got there, there were still people walking past as if nothing had happened. I’m sure I wasn’t the first to notice them that day, but I’m the first to have done something about it.

“It’s sad to see how many just walked away and did nothing. It cost nothing to help the poor kittens.”

Unsure what to do, shocked Kasib called his sister Neesbah Yasin who took to social media to seek advise from the High Wycombe community to help the “poor defenceless kittens," who looked weak and skinny. 

He said the support the response on Facebook has been “phenomenal” and people “really came together to help.”

The siblings drove the little kittens to nearby Crossroads Veterinary Centre and Kasib called the same evening to check up on their health.

Upsettingly, the vet told him one white kitten “was dying and the other two are unlikely to make it through the night,” Kasib claimed.

When he called again today, two kittens were “stable and eating” but the third one was “not doing well,” he said.

"If people don’t want kittens, they should get their pets neutered or contact appropriate authorities to rehome them," he added. 

The practice manager at Crossroads Kate Judd said the trio were “getting the best care they can and we have a team looking after them.”

She pleaded with pet owners to neuter their animals.

“Last week alone we had 14 cats brought in alone. The rescue centres are bogged under with kittens coming in. Everybody is inundated and we need to find somewhere for them, that’s my job today,” Kate said.

She blamed “irresponsible breeding” leaving people with unwanted kittens.

“They are only weeks old, they are tiny,” she added.
