A kitten has died and another will be requiring a leg amputation after several cats were found abandoned at a construction site during the recent freeze-over in Vancouver.

Nine kittens, ranging from 12 weeks to four months old, were found in two boxes taped shut, the BC SPCA said Friday (Dec. 30). ItB次元官网网址檚 unclear exactly when the boxes were discovered.

B次元官网网址淭he temperatures were bitterly cold when these kittens were left at a construction site with nothing but a cardboard box for protection,B次元官网网址� Jodi Dunlop, manager of the BC SPCAB次元官网网址檚 Vancouver animal centre, said in a statement.

B次元官网网址淲hen someone working at the construction site opened the boxes, they found the kittens huddled together for warmth and immediately brought them to the BC SPCA.B次元官网网址�

One of the kittens, which had a prior injury that had not been treated, was unable to be saved by veterinarians and died. A second kitten, which the animal welfare agency has named Prance, was also suffering from an injury on the front right leg and will now have to have the leg amputated.

B次元官网网址淪he is the sweetest kitten,B次元官网网址� Dunlop said. B次元官网网址淪he kneads biscuits with her front left paw and is always so happy to have visitors.B次元官网网址�

Three of the other baby cats also required medical attention.

B次元官网网址淧eople need to know that it is illegal to abandon an animal,B次元官网网址� says Eileen Drever, BC SPCAB次元官网网址檚 senior officer protection and stakeholder relations.
