These poor little babies

Kittens Mailed To Vermont With Brush Trimmer

POSTED: 1:53 pm EDT July 29, 2005

VERGENNES, Vt. -- A worker in the returns department at Country Home Products got a surprise when he opened a brush trimmer sent back from South Carolina.

Inside the box was the trimmer -- and five kittens.

The three-week-old kittens survived the two-day trip to Vermont and are doing fine.

The South Carolina customer who returned the trimmer had stored it in a barn and apparently sealed the box without looking inside.

The kittens were taken to a Humane Society shelter in Middlebury, Vt., where they met Hazel, a black cat whose kittens had just been weaned.

Hazel is a now a surrogate mother to the kittens.

The shelter said the kittens should be available for adoption in about three weeks.

 

At least they're ok and have a new, accepting mommie. Dumb of the guy not to look inside the box.

 

That's South Carolinians for ya!

 

Wow. All I can say is that at least it wasn't intentional.

 

I find that very hard to believe. :x At least the kittens are ok and I hope they all find loving homes.

 

he must have been old....bc i know kittens do make a lot of noise

 

Thats what I was thinking...Kittens are anything but silent. I had a kitten screamed when it got scared, and it could echo off walls. Now I dont know how the person returning the box couldn't hear it, and the clerk wouldn't hear it...hmm...
But it turned out well that they where able to find a momma that was still able to nurse, and you know how fast kittens go.
