An animal rehoming centre is in dire need for cat food - after the area saw a baby boom of kittens. 

The Lanarkshire Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre, near Hamilton, is currently caring for around 30 kittens. 

But centre bosses have said it has been a "struggle" to keep up with the hungry kittens. 

The Scottish SPCA is appealing to animal lovers to help out by donating Iams complete kitten food for the centre.

Centre manager Gillian Boyle said, “We’re currently caring for around 30 kittens of various ages.

“It can be a struggle to keep up with so many hungry mouths to feed.

“We also need disinfectant because with this amount of young animals it’s more important than ever to keep everything as clean as possible.

“Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic we are closed to the public but we can accept donations sent directly to us from Amazon or any other online retailer with a delivery service.

“We can also accept donations via the donation bins outside the centre.

“We understand that times are tough for everyone but if anyone can help with food for these felines we would appreciate anything that people can spare.”
