Two blind kittens have been rescued from a colony of wild cats in Oxford.

The cats, called Billy and Jumble, were saved by volunteers from the charity Oxford and District Cats Protection.

They were found trying to fend for themselves in Wood Farm.

ODCP welfare officer Julie Haynes, of Brightwell-cum-Sotwell, near Wallingford, said: "They probably went blind after catching a bad dose of cat flu. Luckily, we've found a new home for them to go to.

"To start with they will have to be indoor cats, but they may be able to go out in a harness when they get a bit older."

Miss Haynes appealed for more volunteers to come forward and help the cat charity. Call 01865 341401.
