A cat who had been missing for nearly five months and her four kittens are home safe after they were found in an electrical substation sheltering under leaves, cobwebs and a crisp packet. Bella, a three-year-old grey-blue British shorthair, had tucked her kittens away from the elements and under a cabinet that stores electrical equipment when Garry Black and Terry Amor, low voltage fitters for Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks, came upon them while working near Albion Towers in Southampton.
Initially thought to be a stray, Bella had a microchip that was found on the second scan and was soon returned to her “delighted” owners, who believed she was “gone forever”. The four kittens, including grey-furred Milos and his black-and-white brother Luka, were all found healthy and rehomed.
