Four cats, a mother and her kittens, were discovered abandoned in a remote and dangerous location near Scarborough on Sunday. Two litter-pickers, conducting their routine clean-up, heard distressed meowing coming from a plastic cat carrier precariously situated down a steep bank. The animals were found alive by chance, prompting an immediate call to Filey Cat Rescue.

It is believed they were intentionally left in the secluded spot, with rescuers expressing shock at the cruelty involved.
