On our way to the pet store to help out Hannibal the ever enlarging goldfish, (now approx 14″ and counting), who has pop-eye, a fish disease that makes the eye(s) pop out of the socket, or at least become very inflamed.  Got him some tetra cycline and it seems to be on it’s way better…

Anyways we noticed a box with several kittens on top of it in an abandoned parking lot.  Laurie and I decided that we’d drive by on the way out and make sure they weren’t just dropped there by themselves.  Sure enough, on the way out, there they sat, huddled on top of a box looking pretty concerned. We got out, to see if they were feral, as is typical of the area, and approached them.  Instead of shying away, they approached us!

I opened the box they were on, and put the 4 kittens inside, and we decided leaving them there was not an option.

Some kitten milk replacement and food and a good nights rest and they are looking and feeling a little better.

It is unbelievable that someone could do that, but I’m glad we were able to bring them home.

At home was the tricky task of hiding them into the upstairs bathroom and creating a small nursery for them with litter, food, water and a sleeping condo, (their old box).

Here’s a photo of the little kittens:

We are hopeful that we can find them all nice homes in the next few weeks, as we certainly have no room for more animals at this time.
