Professor Green rescues abandoned kittens in London

One Instagram user, @Hollyanncoope,r wrote: “Professor Green rescuing kittens just the type of thing I needed to see today”

“Why can’t I find some kittens?! I’d take them all home,” wrote another user, @karenlouise112.

Since he was with his son Slimane, Professor Green, 39, said he couldn’t carry the animals home. But he called a friend who came immediately to help out, he said on Instagram.

He wrote: “Found these guys where they’d been dumped in a cemetery full of foxes trying to get some kip and dogs being walked (these two quite often clash). Called my friend Lee who came immediately (I was with my son and had no means to carry them) and they’ve since been washed and fed. Not today, Satan.

“Quite happy I went to walk off a foul mood!”

Instagram users expressed their relief at his update.

One, @lucyhorobin, wrote: “How could anyone dump them so callously like that? Thank goodness you found them, it was meant to be! Xx”

Another, @kitchentablenw6, said: “Well done. So awful that people will do that. Our cat was dumped behind a shop at 4 weeks old, and weighing 400g. He’s now a meaty 5.5kg.”

The rapper updated viewers with more news on April 5, where the cats could be seen playing.

“They’ve definitely been taken away from mama cat as they are extremely independent but the good thing is they’re already using litter trays,” he said.

“They’re playing with each other, cleaning each other and they’re eating.

“Thanks to my really good friend Lee Smith, they’re doing really well. All his cat knowledge is playing into them and being looked after tremendously ahead of being rehomed.”
