Pennsylvania – A tiny kitten is lucky to be alive after being abandoned outside of a Philadelphia animal shelter. According to the Pennsylvania SPCA, the day old kitten, dubbed Warrior, was left in a box outside of their facility.
The agency said:
At just one day old, little Warrior was found in a box dumped outside of the shelter this morning. With nothing but a blanket for warmth, staff members found him crying, hungry, and with his umbilical cord still attached.
This kitten is safe, but others are not as fortunate. In the midst of “kitten season,” the resources for animal shelters become stretched thin. The agency explained the importance of having foster families to help:
Fosters are vital to this process – and are much needed! No experience is required. We will provide all the hands-on training, supplies, and emotional support needed to help these babies grow and flourish.
