Seven kittens found living outdoors among thick undergrowth, tree roots, bin bags and dumped rubbish in Foleshill, Coventry, England, are now safe in foster care, according to a community appeal posted on 28 October 2026. All seven have now been safely trapped, with support from Happy Paws Cat Rescue, the appeal says. Based on their weight and development, the kittens are believed to be around seven weeks old, although that is an estimate, the post notes. They are Daisy, Poppy and Nettle (girls) and Mustard, Dandelion, Thistle and Buttercup (boys). The aim, the appeal says, is to keep them together while they are still so young, wherever possible.
A plea for information about their mum
The appeal also asks anyone in the Foleshill area for information about the kittens’ background: where they came from, whether they have an owner, and what happened to their mother or any other kittens in the area. An email address, foleshillkittens@gmail.com, is given for information and for adoption enquiries. Because this story comes from a community post rather than a news outlet, its details have not been independently verified by a second source, and readers should treat it as a rescue appeal rather than a confirmed news report. What is clear from the post itself is that seven very young kittens, found in difficult outdoor conditions, are now receiving foster care and attracting a lot of adoption interest.
Why keeping litters together helps
Rescue groups say keeping young kittens together, even briefly, helps them learn social skills, confidence and bite inhibition from each other, as well as keeping them warmer and calmer. For the Foleshill Seven, foster care is the bridge between a rubbish-strewn patch of undergrowth and a permanent home — and, if their mother is found, a chance to reunite the family story with its missing piece.
