| A kitten has been found in a box on a London Underground train. | |
| The tiny ball of dark fur - thought to be four weeks old - was handed to staff who passed her on to the animal charity Blue Cross. | |
| Veterinary nurses cleaned up the young cat, who was found on Monday at about 21:00 BST covered in a sticky substance. | |
| They named her Victoria after the central London station where she was found. | |
| It is not known what Tube line the kitten was found on as the passenger who found the box just handed her over to station staff. | |
| A spokesman for the charity, based near to Victoria station, said: "It is a mystery as to why she was left on her own, without her mum or possible littermates. | |
| "Little Victoria is certainly one of the most unusual items of lost property handed in to London Underground." | |
| Because the kitten is so young and should be feeding from her mother, the nurses have been hand feeding her and providing round-the-clock care. | Because the kitten is so young and should be feeding from her mother, the nurses have been hand feeding her and providing round-the-clock care. |
| Victoria is doing well, the charity said, and will be transferred to its rehoming centre in Lewknor, Oxfordshire, next week. | Victoria is doing well, the charity said, and will be transferred to its rehoming centre in Lewknor, Oxfordshire, next week. |
