I was walking on the shore line looking at the different species of ants and insects, after a hour or so I was going to stop and have a break from walking the rocks.  I came to a large hill/cliff and heard screaming so I climbed my way up to find five 2 week old kittens in a garbage bag hanging just off the ledge. The hill they came down was about 60 feet, I grabbed them and started walking home (1 hour). I then called every rescue place until I found the great people that took them in. I had to drive them 2 hours and pass them off to be picked up and taken to the help they needed. This was the best adventure I've ever had, the rush of saving a live is so amazing, I had to share.

That's super cool. I wonder who put them on that ledge in the first place...


Hit "Like This" if it helped.

Incredible that there exists such heartless and cruel people in this world.

Awesome! I ain't a cat fan, but this shouldn't be happening. Hearing what you did made my day :)
