A Sad Case of Cruelty

These adorable 3-week old kittens were the recent victims of a terribly cruel act. Not only were they placed in a cardboard box and thrown out of a truck, their mama was also thrown from the truck under a moving vehicle and killed instantly, leaving them orphaned and without their main food source.

The kittens were tossed into the yard of a local couple who tried but were unsuccessful in obtaining the license number of the truck.

Luckily, they survived and are doing ok. They are now in a temporary foster home where they are being bottle fed until they can get onto solid food.

The current foster mom already has several foster kittens to care for, so we will be looking for at least one more new foster home for these little ones in a week or so as there are five hungry babies to feed.

Please let us know if you can help by fostering a kitten or two.

And remember, if you witness acts of animal cruelty, please report them right away! Contact the Humane Society at 777-7700.
