Bosses at the local branch of the charity are reeling after storage areas were broken into on Monday, leaving them with no food or litter cor their foster cats.

The Halesowen branch is one of more than 250 around the country who help to rescue and rehome unwanted cats and kittens.

In 2015 they neutered around 1000 cats and rehomed over 230. Announcing the news on Facebook, a sookesperson said:

"I'm heartbroken. If anyone can spare a few tins of food, donate via our amazon wishlist, JustGiving page or they can text 'HDCP99' followed by £1,£2,£3,£4,£5 or £10 to 70070.

"Alternatively, physical items can be donated by visiting our Amazon Wishlist."
