AN animal rescue centre says they are "desperate" to find a home for two kittens they describe as the "best of friends" and "full of fun and mischief."

The Scottish SPCA has been caring for loveable duo Tessie and Betsy at their Dunbartonshire Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre.

The black and white pair - who are now three months old - are ready for their "forever home," says the charity.

Ally Bibby, assistant manager of the centre, said: “Tessie and Betsy are two very sweet girls full of fun and mischief.

“These black and white female kittens are the best of friends and love to run around and keep each other entertained.

“They can potentially live with other animals and children after slow and steady introductions. 

"They will require plenty of space in their new homes and would love outdoor access once they are old enough."

Ally added: “We also have kittens who are not old enough to be rehomed yet but could be matched to a family once they are ready."

If anyone is interested in these kittens, or any other kitten, they can apply via the Scottish SPCA website here.
