2.23 - Faith in Humanity, Lost, then, Sort of Found...

So I volunteer for a local animal rescue on Friday mornings and today I was cleaning the adoption cages at the store that lets us have kittens/cats in stores to be up for adoption. There is also a Humane Society built right in the store... This woman comes in today with her two children, asking to speak to a manager. She tells the manager she has kittens that she didn't want, and asks if the store will take them. The manager tells her to ask the Humane Society if they are able to take the kittens, although it may not be available at this location, they will let her know which one will take them in. She walks to the door of the Humane Society and sees that they don't open until 11am (it was 10:50 by this time). Complains they aren't open yet, and proceeds to walk out. Two minutes later, I see this backpack on the floor and a kitten crawling out of it!!! She had three of them stuffed in a child's backpack and just dropped them on the floor in a corner of the store and leaves! I was so shocked! I set up a playpen and gave them food and water. They were so dehydrated and hungry! One of them seems more lethargic than the other two... It was so heartbreaking! I texted the organizer for our rescue, and although resources are limited and we can't take every single one in, she agreed to take them in. Just gotta find a foster home now! Luckily, one of the managers fell in love with one of the kittens and decided to adopt one right away... I just wish the woman had the decency to wait 10 minutes for the Humane Society to open up...


So here they are. They immediately went for the water and food...






This is them in an adoption cage until someone from our rescue can come pick them up and get them checked out by the vet and fixed.






The appear to be from two different litters as the fluffier one is bigger than the other two. They are all super sweet and calm and just latches on to you... The saddest thing is, the woman just taught her 2 young kids, this is how you treat animals. Get them, and when you don't want them, just throw them away...
