these three kittens ...

So lucky their meows were heard. These three dear kittens were recently found dumped in a wheelie bin in the Worthing area.

Who could do such a thing?

Cruelty or desperation?

Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoriti said...: How terrible and heartless! I hope they all find good homes. Cats are such wonderful pets -- I treasure my guy.; 7 November 2008 at 05:57
Simone said...: There is no excuse! There are so many animal charities that take in animals now, and many people willing to give a good home to an animal. People who do this kind of thing are selfish and lack morals. If they didn't want kittens then they should be responsible enough to get their cat neutured. If they can't afford it there are organisations that will do it at a reduced rate or free of charge. They are lovely looking kitties by the way!; 7 November 2008 at 08:17
Acornmoon said...: Hi Louise, I did not recognize your new avatar, very nice it is too.

Poor little kittens, I have friends who run a local animal rescue, stories like this abound. At least this one had a happy ending!; 7 November 2008 at 08:51
Kris said...: It's just cruelty I think. And I am not a cat person. (Mostly because I am allergic to cats and get ill when I spend any time in a "cat house".) To do that to any living being is so wrong.; 7 November 2008 at 10:33
Adrienne said...: Oh how terrible - my 4 1/2 yr old saw the picture (I didn't tell him the circumstances) and he said "I wish I could cuddle one of them." Too bad everyone doesn't feel that way about animals.; 7 November 2008 at 13:39

prettyshabby said...: oh bless them..what a meany to do that.I wonder if the owners were turned away from the cats home, I know the ones round here are chocablock full but it's still absolutely no excuse to put them in a bin.
When our very young cat fell pregnant before she was booked in to be 'done' we kept the kittens as we felt responsible..which is why I have to wade through a sea of furry creatures to get to the fridge..we have 5!!; 7 November 2008 at 20:21

I like the Wartime Memories button in your sidebar ~ did you create it? Would it be o.k. to add it to my blog?

Ladybird World Mother said...: Mean mean mean. They look so sweet. We have just got ourselves a new kitten called Toby. Cant imagine just dumping him somewhere. You have to have no heart to do that.; 7 November 2008 at 21:17
Cowboys and Custard Mercantile said...: I would say cruelty!
Who could do such a thing!? There is always a home somewhere that would love and cherish such gorgeous creatures...
How about yours?
Mr Pickles would not be impressed if I bought home a junior version.

It is beyond me how people can be so cruel. At least if you find you can't cope then be responsible and find a new home for them is what i think people should do.
I look at our 2 kittens now just over 6 months old and i can't believe that someone dumped them in a bin just 6 weeks ago. They are beautiful boys and are such a part of our family now. Please let us know what happens to the little trio of kitties.
much love
