These beautiful, very young, long haired siblings were heard crying by a local middle school student who had been to the HSCC seminars and learned about our services. He found them in a very large construction dumpster in the yard of a house that was being renovated. They had been put there by their mother in an attempt to keep them safe from predators. Knowing that they needed to be rescued, the young student went to his mother and school counselor. They called the HSCC for help, but when we arrived, it was raining, making the dumpster slippery and dangerous for the rescuers to reach the kittens. There was no where steady to place our feet, and we were unsure of where the kittens were. The dumpster was scheduled to be taken away the next day, but the owner delayed the pickup to give us more time. When we arrived the next day with volunteers to remove the trash and safely rescue the kittens, we found that their mother had moved them to safety under her owner's very low porch. 

When they were old enough to follow their mother out from their hiding place, the owner gathered the kittens and called HSCC volunteers who brought them to our no-kill shelter where they received appropriate veterinary care and lots of loving attention. We are delighted to tell you that they have all been adopted and are now in caring homes.

On behalf of animals like these that have been saved and those who still need our help, the HSCC wishes to thank you for your gift. It will help us continue to make a positive difference in the lives of animals in need and those who care for them.
