Pink kittens rescued by Cats Protection

Four tiny kittens whose fur turned pink while they were living at a concrete factory in Cornwall have been rescued by a cat charity.

Four four-week-old pink kittens were discovered are being looked after by Cats Protection.

It is thought that the kittens must have come into contact with some red pigment used in concrete manufacturing, which has caused their rather unusual appearance.

The kittens are being cared for by Cats Protection?s Truro Adoption Centre and manager Claire Rowe said: ?We see cats of many colours, shapes and sizes but this has to be a first for us. We?ve started cleaning them but it is going to take a bit more time to get them all back to their natural colours.

?We think the kittens were abandoned by their mum but we?re hopeful they will fully recover and be able to enjoy a bright, but preferably not pink, future!?



Beth Skillings, Clinical Veterinary Officer at Cats Protection said: ?Our priority at the moment is to monitor the kittens closely in case they have ingested or inhaled any of the pigment. However, early indications are good so we?re hoping they will come through with a clean bill of health.

?Whilst the kittens? colour was an accident, I want to stress that cats? fur should never be dyed in any way as it could cause the cat a great deal of harm.?
