Workers at Makro needed to call the RSPCA after finding something "extraordinary" in the recycling.
Staff at the wholesaler, on the Britonwood Trading Estate, in Kirkby, heard noises coming from a container filled with cardboard. When they went to check out where the noise was coming from, they found a cat and a kitten.
It's thought the cat had gone inside to give birth to her baby and then become trapped as it got continually filled with more and more cardboard. The RSPCA was called on May 30 and both the cat and her kitten were taken into the care of RSPCA’s Wirral and Chester branch.
