Three tiny kittens are now thriving in their forever homes after being rescued at just four weeks old.
Morgana, Lancelot and Guinevere were discovered cold, hungry and cowering behind some bins on a street in Newtownards.
A black and white female cat, presumed to be their mother, was found nearby after being fatally injured in a road traffic incident.
Cats Protection centre manager, Andrew Doherty, said: “We believe that these kittens sought refuge amongst the bins after their mum was sadly killed.
“Thankfully the person who found them acted quickly, by taking the kittens into the warmth of their home and giving them some kitten milk. By this point they were ravenous and devoured it eagerly.
“After being contacted, our team immediately brought the kittens into the safety of our centre, where they received the critical care and TLC they desperately needed. Over the following weeks, we cared for them until they were happy, healthy, and ready to find their forever homes.”
Despite their challenging start to life, by eight weeks old the kittens were doing great and ready to be rehomed.
And they have all now successfully settled into their new homes with loving owners.

One adopter, Anishka Rana, said: “Having Lancelot with us has been absolutely amazing!
“He’s such a gentle soul and so incredibly affectionate, we truly couldn’t have asked for a better companion.
“Lancelot wouldn’t be in our lives without the help of the team at Cats Protection, and we’re so grateful!”
