World's rarest kittens rescued in the Scottish Highlands
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/scottish-wildcat-kittens-rescued-world-rarest-cat-feline-endangered-a8452926.htmlA pair of wildcat kittens have been rescued in Scotland, sparking fresh hope for the endangered species.
The orphaned felines were discovered in the east Highlands and have boosted the struggling population by six per cent, to 37 animals.
Conservation group Wildcat Haven, which rescued the animals, said the cats lost their mother at just two months old and were weak and dehydrated when they were found.
The group, which monitors the dwindling population, said the pair were found by a member of the public and were seen moving towards a road before their rescue.
