A kitten that was dumped in a field has been found a new home.

Ozzy was just a few days old when he was discovered with his umbilical cord still attached to him in Cambridge.

His rescuers took him to nearby Village Vet where he was hand-reared by veterinary nurse Holly Anderson for 10 weeks.

He has been rehomed with a local family who are friends of Ms Anderson, and she said he had made "brilliant progress".

"Despite it being touch and go on a few occasions, I persevered and the little baby started to grow and develop into the gorgeous boy he is today," she said.

Ms Anderson initially fed him every two hours and has previously hand-reared three other kittens.

"Ozzy is a cheeky, active kitten who has such a great personality and has fit in well with his new family," she said.

"We are excited to follow Ozzy as he grows up."
