Help - Kitten may have been stung by wasp
Hi guys, Just went for a little walk with kitten (he is only 4 months, but we closely supervise him). He landed bang on a wasp and it kind of lodged in his paw but was dead.

Good Evening, I found a very cute rabbit in my garden this morning, it's obviously someone's pet. I've put signs up in the area saying rabbit found, but as yet have not heard from anyone to claim it.
