A passerby discovered six abandoned kittens in a box near a closed shop and contacted RSPCA for help, giving them a chance at a new life.
Shop closure reveals abandoned kittens
The solidarity shop was closed early in the morning, with its scheduled opening set for two hours later. A passerby noticed a large box placed in front of the entrance and had doubts about its condition. Kittens found in a box
Upon approaching, the individual found six tiny kittens curled up together inside the box. The animals had been abandoned in the dirty box with no other items present. Rescuers take charge
The passerby contacted the RSPCA Canterbury and District Branch team to report the kittens. The rescuers took charge of the small kittens and named them Captain Pugwash, Mako, Pebble, Minnow, Coral, and Sailor. Kittens are young and in need
According to examinations, the small cats are between 6 and 8 weeks old. The rescuers are trying to find out who placed the kittens in front of the shop and why. Encouraging responsible pet ownership
They want to encourage owners who are having difficulties taking care of their animals to ask for help rather than abandoning them in a situation like this. The future looks much sweeter for Captain Pugwash, Mako, Pebble, Minnow, Coral, and Sailor, as they are currently in good hands. Adoption plans underway
After their recovery, the six small cats will be able to join their adoptive families and finally begin a new life.
