Three cats found starving in garden of abandoned house in Kirkcaldy, Fife

Three cats were found starving in the garden of an abandoned house in Fife.

The Scottish SPCA were alerted by a landlord on Friday who voiced concerns about the animals.

The property has been empty since the beginning of the month, and neighbours had not been feeding the cats that were in the back garden.

The Scottish SPCA said the felines were all thin and “extremely hungry”, with evidence of a flea infestation.
