In a positive turn of events, and as new information has come to light, it turns out that the kittens who were recently found at the Fort Steele landfill were born there and not dumped, as originally reported.
The Cranbrook Townsman published a story Tuesday (September 22) that five kittens were found to be dumped in the garbage after being found at the landfill in Fort Steele.
Worker Jeff Arrowsmith spotted a kitten while he was moving some large pieces of metal on Monday.
91裸聊视频淚 called my two boys, because there was no way I could lift these pieces and get the kitten, so they came and helped me while I ran the machine,91裸聊视频 Arrowsmith told the Townsman.
The sons found four more kittens 91裸聊视频 running around trying to catch them for a while, before taking the cats home and cleaning them up. The furry siblings were brought to a local family member, Susan Pearson, who is involved in animal rescues.
Pearson, who is now fostering the kittens, says they are happy, healthy and getting the care that they need 91裸聊视频 including having adoptive families.
She explained that it wasn91裸聊视频檛 until after speaking with the Townsman that she learned about the mother cat who has been living at the landfill.
Arrowsmith confirmed that there are several cats calling the landfill home who were 91裸聊视频渄umped there two or three years ago.91裸聊视频
He added that there is a group currently working to trap the cats in order to get them spayed and neutered.
Pearson says that sometimes, with ferrel cats, the local animal groups will trap the animals, get them fixed and return them to where they were found.
Pearson says this story still speaks to the larger issue of dumped and abandoned cats, as well as over-population.
91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 a big issue though, with abandonment, overpopulation. It91裸聊视频檚 sad really. There are rescues that do spay and neuter clinics, so it doesn91裸聊视频檛 matter your income. It would be great to have one of those here.91裸聊视频
Arrowsmith echoed Pearson91裸聊视频檚 statement, noting how proud he is of his sons for helping with the rescue.
91裸聊视频淭he sad thing is, people are focusing on the negative. Five kittens were rescued. We91裸聊视频檙e supposed to help each other, that91裸聊视频檚 what society is about. Make a positive impact, instead of a negative. Spend ten minutes less on your phone, and ten minutes more petting a cat - I promise you91裸聊视频檒l be a lot happier.91裸聊视频
