Kittens rescued after being born in the gutter of a home in Birmingham
The RSPCA and firefighters were called after neighbours realised a cat was giving birth in the guttering of a conservatory
A cat and her five kittens have been rescued from the gutter of a conservatory in Birmingham after the cat gave birth there.
The RSPCA said it was called to the scene on Tuesday after residents heard a noise and realised that a stray cat was giving birth on the conservatory.
Adam Bailey, an inspector at the charity, arrived alongside a fire crew and was able to reach the three-year-old tabby and white cat and her kittens on the roof.
He added: “Alongside fire and rescue, I managed to get up onto the roof of the conservatory and slowly but surely contain the mother using a reach and rescue pole and then pick up each kitten and bring them to safety.”
The RSPCA said Storm was microchipped, but it has not been able to reach the owner.
“If no owner comes forward for them they will be rehomed when ready”, the RSPCA added.
