An animal charity is launching an appeal so it can do more to support feral cats.
Shropshire Cat Rescue currently supports six colonies of feral cats by providing food, and implementing a policy of Trap Neuter and Return to help reduce the impact kitten season can have.
A spokesperson for the charity says:"Rudy explains how as a day old he was found orphaned in one of the feral colonies we support, he was brought into the shelter and hand reared by Marion the shelter manager who ended up adopting him."Rudy is going to be turning three years old on April 8, so is requesting people support the Feral Appeal for his birthday by sending gifts of food for the feral colonies or donate money to the Feral Appeal.
"When kittens are orphaned like Rudy we of course bring them in straight away as they are not equipped to survive without their mum," the spokesperson said.
