Another case of Dumpster kittens


One of our foster homes, Shelly, was taking the trash out to the dumpster this afternoon. She heard mewling coming from a plastic bag tied up in a knot IN the dumpster. After investigating further, she opened the plastic bag to discover these two darling kittens, who her young son has named Sally and Chick.
Sally and Chick are between 6 and 7 weeks old. Shelly will foster them, ensure that they are strong and healthy, and in a week or two we will list them for adoption.
I can't believe that we have already had another case of finding kittens tossed into a dumpster! The level of ignorance and cruelty that it represents is unconscionable. Thank goodness that Shelly was there.
In the last week or two the Pet Rescue committee has been talking about getting ready for kitten season, which we expected to start in a month or so. Clearly, the cats had other things in mind, as the kittens are already here in the world and needing our help.
