    The "shivering" animals were found by people passing by on Sunday 4 July in Kesteven Way in Kingswood.

    An appeal has been launched by the RSPCA to find the people who abandoned the eight-week-old pair.

    Luke Hewick, who found the kittens while out on a walk with his partner Lauren Hartley, said they had taken them in to be looked after.

    He said: "“They were shaking and scared and soaking wet. I am not sure if it was because of the storm which we had before we found them or if they were wet from breathing in the bag.

    “I ran home to get some towels and we wrapped them up, took them home and called the RSPCA. We were happy to keep them for the night and look after them but they soon won us over and we have decided to keep them ourselves.

    Animal rescuer inspector Natalie Hill is appealing for help to find the person responsible, adding: “This is appalling and whoever is responsible must be callous to discard two kittens in a bag and throw them away like rubbish.

    “If it wasn’t for Luke and Lauren luckily finding them they would have suffered a lingering and terrifying death."
