An animal rescue charity celebrated after successfully rehoming eight abandoned black-and-white kittens named with beverage-themed names such as Guinness and Peroni. Found at just eight weeks old in a bin bag on a street in Grimsby, the kittens were taken to an animal shelter for health checks before being transferred to a rehoming center in Oxfordshire where they all found new homes. The article notes that Blue Cross has seen a 15 percent increase in abandoned kittens this year compared to last, attributing this rise partly to economic pressures leading pet owners to abandon unwanted litters.

Story summary
In Grimsby, an animal rescue charity successfully found new homes for eight abandoned kittens, named with humorous beverage-themed names like Guinness and Peroni, which had been discarded in a plastic rubbish bag at just eight weeks old. After being discovered by a passerby and taken to the Blue Cross shelter for medical checks, the kittens were later transferred to an Oxfordshire rehoming center where each cat was adopted. According to Hannah Wiltshire from Blue Cross, there has been a 15% increase in abandoned or unwanted kittens compared to last year, potentially due to economic pressures causing some pet owners to skip costly veterinary services like neutering.
