Five kittens abandoned in a dumpster in Haldimand County appear to have a second chance after being rescued by a Good Samaritan on Monday night.
Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) say the incident is now a cruelty to animals investigation after the felines were discovered in a metal scrap bin located next to a business in Hagersville.
“A passerby was walking on John Street when they heard the sound of kittens crying,” Const. Mary Gagliardi said in a release on Tuesday morning.
