Ms. Angela Willis

Angela Willis, acting deputy manager at the RSPCA West Hatch centre, said the felines were "terribly emaciated and dehydrated" when they were found.

Two were young "very shy" females, who have been named Honey and Syrup by West Hatch staff.

The third, a tom named Lionel, is more responsive and enjoys being fussed over.

Ms Willis said: "They were in a bad state when they came here.

Animal care assistant with the RSPCA at Bryn y Maen, Angela Willis, said the centre had seven ferrets waiting to be rehomed.

All of them were brought into the home as strays, some having been lost by people using them for rabbiting whilst others had probably escaped out of their enclosures.

"Its quite common for us to have ferrets at the centre throughout the year and the majority of them are pretty friendly," Ms Willis added.
