The charity shop was still closed, as it was very early in the morning and wasn't due to open for another two hours. However, the passerby noticed a large box left right by the entrance.
A shocking discovery
The man felt uneasy when he saw the state of the box. As he walked closer, he saw it contained six tiny kittens huddled up against each other. The poor things had been abandoned in the dirty container with absolutely nothing to keep them warm or fed.
He contacted the RSPCA Canterbury and District Branch immediately to report the kittens. Rescuers took the little ones into their care quickly, naming them Captain Pugwash, Mako, Pebble, Minnow, Coral, and Sailor. An assessment showed that these little ones are between six and eight weeks old.
Knowing when to ask for help
Without the quick-thinking passerby, these kittens might not have survived. Rescuers are now trying to find out who left them there and why. They want to encourage any pet owners struggling to care for their animals to reach out and ask for help, rather than leaving them in such a vulnerable state...
Fortunately, the future looks much brighter for Captain Pugwash, Mako, Pebble, Minnow, Coral, and Sailor. They are in safe hands now. Once they have fully recovered, these six sweet little cats will be ready to head off to their forever homes and start a brand-new life.
