'I named rescued kitten in memory of Ozzy'

Ozzy and Sharon were found covered in maggots and in a bad state

Two rescued new-born kittens found covered in maggots next to two dead siblings have been named Ozzy and Sharon.

The feline pair, thought to be about a week old, were found by "a kind-hearted lady" in her garden in the Whitmore Reans area of Wolverhampton, with no mother around, and were "in a very bad way".

Both are being helped by Wings and Paws Rescue in Wolverhampton, with a spokesperson saying: "They're only a week or so old - how could we say no to helping them?

"They are now being hand-reared with our very experienced fosterer and are already doing much better."

"Keep fighting little ones, we've got you now," the spokesperson said.

The pair's fosterer said she had struggled to find names for them that she hadn't used before.

"We have about eight Hollys," she said.

"I thought it would be nice to honour Ozzy by naming the kittens after him and Sharon.

"The last lot were after Peppa Pig's friends and new baby sister."
