Kittens Found in dumpster in North Bend

Tamara, who used to live not far from me in Albany, who wanted to get involved after living a few doors down from an Albany collector, now lives in North Bend and did get involved. She told she is bottle feeding the kittens, described in craigslist post below, found in a North Bend dumpster, inside a metal box that had been etched with R.I.P.

If you have information about the 3 day old kittens dumped in a dumpster at the North Bend housing authority apartment complex on 11th/Virginia Saturday afternoon/evening on 5/9/09 please either email the information or contact the North Bend police department.

There are 5 kittens, 2 siamese, 1 white, 1 tabby, and 1 chocolate brown and white. The kittens were placed in a white bankers box with R.I.P. written on the box lid then placed in the dumpster and the birthday garabage and small webber barbeque then placed on top to conceal the cruel act.

Someone has got to know about these babies and where they came from. Did you see these kittens and now they are gone and wondered where they went?

Thankfully the kittens were found and are being bottle feed by a community member. All 5 remain healthy and strong despite the fact when they were found they were covered in feces, were wet, and ice cold.

We as a community need to take a stand against the cruel and unusual punishment of animals that is continuously happening in our community. Please if you know something about this terrible act, come forth and make a stance.


Pictures of the kittens and box below. The mucky mess, yeah that is what they were in. We have got to have higher standards than this for our community.
