On her way to work, a caring nurse from Essex, England stumbled upon an unusual sight. An abandoned suitcase lay on the sidewalk, piquing her curiosity. Little did she know, this unexpected encounter would lead to a heartwarming discovery.
When she opened the suitcase, she was greeted with an adorable surprise – 15 kittens, all under three to five weeks old, nestled inside. The suitcase had been carefully cut with holes to ensure the tiny felines could breathe. It was evident that whoever left them there had wanted them to survive. What’s more, the suitcase had been intentionally left near a well-known animal refuge.
Watching out for the welfare of the kittens, the nurse quickly called for help from Alison Gamble, a staff member at the refuge. Alison carefully examined the kittens and was relieved to find them in good condition. It became evident that they had been separated from their mother at a young age.
Given their tender age, the kittens still required hand feeding as they hadn’t been weaned yet. This was essential to ensure they received proper nutrition and thrived under the care of the shelter staff.
Gratefully, the shelter staff were more than ready to take care of these little souls until they could find their forever homes. However, due to their young and vulnerable state, the kittens were not ready for adoption just yet.
“Six of the kittens are showing signs of an eye infection, while the others appear to be in good health. We’ll be closely monitoring their progress to ensure their overall well-being,” says Alison, highlighting the dedication of the refuge staff members.
