The driver decided to pull over to have a closer listen.
From his cab, he could hear faint meows that seemed to be coming from the bushes.
Faint cries for help
Intrigued, he followed the little cries until he found an abandoned cardboard box near the roadside. When he opened it, he expected to find some abandoned pets. But that wasn't the case at all...
The man found a completely empty, dirty box. Yet the meowing continued just a few yards away. That was where he finally spotted several terrified kittens hiding in the undergrowth.
Little runaways
In fact, the kittens had managed to escape from their box, as shown by the tiny teeth and claw marks left on the cardboard edges. The driver immediately contacted Carrington Animal Rescue.
When the rescuers arrived, they thought they would be able to gather all the kittens quickly. Sadly, the rescue turned out to be quite a challenge as night began to fall. It was incredibly difficult to spot black kittens in the pitch dark...
After several hours, they managed to rescue four of the kittens. The following day, a kind-hearted person found the final two hiding near a tree. Today, the whole litter is safe in a foster home. All six kittens have been treated for fleas and have enjoyed a proper meal. They have been named Dolly, Jolene, Andy, Tennessee, Doralee, and Romeo. We wish them the very best for the future!
