AN abandoned kitten was found in a shoebox that was taped shut and left in the sun in Greencroft.

Vets are nursing the kitten which they believe is six or seven weeks old.

It was dehydrated but unharmed.

They have named him Walter as he was found in a DeWalt boot box.

Veterinary nurse Jen Blake said: "Luckily a lady heard his squeaks and bought him in to us."
