MESHOPPEN, Pennsylvania (WNEP) Three cats and eight kittens are sleepy and hungry after a long night in the cold.
Police in Meshoppen said the cats were found around 6 p.m. Tuesday off Copper Head Lane, a rural road.
The cats were left behind in a snowdrift near a dumpster in a box. It was taped shut without anything to keep the cats warm.
“I was mortified. I mean, we all were. We were all crying tears,” Meshoppen Cat Rescue President Paula Foux said.
The cats were brought to Meshoppen Cat Rescue to recover, less than one mile away from where they were found.
