Showing Original Post only (View all)Delivery Man Spots Strange Black Pile In Middle Of Snowstorm [View all]
"They looked like a piece of clothing ... but on second glance I knew what it was."BY SARAH V SCHWEIG
A man was driving a truck of milk through a snowstorm in Canada when he noticed a strange black spot amid a world of white.
When he inched closer he realized that he needed to rush out of the driver's seat and brave the elements a life, or lives, depended on it.
Three tiny black kittens were huddled together there in the snow. And there were no paw prints surrounding them, indicating they had probably been thrown there from the road.

Compton promptly scooped up the kittens and drove them back to his home 12 miles away, where his wife and daughter were waiting to warm up the tiny strays and save their lives.
The family, who already has two cats and two dogs, all rescues, also got in touch with a local animal rescue group, Deer Lake Kitten Rescue (DLKR), which helped coordinate the kittens' veterinary care and transfer to a shelter.

"If I hadn't seen them they would certainly have died," Compton said. "They will be [up for adoption] as soon as they are in perfect health."
You can make a donation to the NL West SPCA or apply to adopt these kittens.

I wish the monster who dumped these precious ones in the snow to die experiences nothing but misery the rest of his/her pathetic life. Bless the delivery man for saving them.

There is no compassion that should be shown to humans who do this to animals. nt
