On Thursday, May 17th staff of the Kennebec Valley Humane Society (KVHS) arrived at the shelter to find several boxes sitting outside filled with abandoned cats and kittens. It is unknown how long the animals were outside in the boxes but they were immediately given food, water, and medical attention. Of the abandoned cats 5 were adult females and the rest were babies, all around 3 weeks old. With 21 extra animals to care for, KVHS is looking to the public for support. KVHS is seeking donations of funds, dry and can cat food, cat litter, and families willing to help by fostering kittens too young to be placed for adoption.
