DUNKLIN/PEMISCOT COUNTIES, MO (KAIT) – Kittens only days old have a local sanitation employee to thank after he saved their lives when he found them in the garbage.

A sanitation employee with Branum’s Disposal Service based in Kennett was making his usual route in Hornersville.

He said he heard kittens crying in a dumpster located between the community building and the city park and rescued them.

The man took the kittens to Dr. Edmund Landry’s office where they called the Pemiscot Animal Welfare Society, since the Kennett Humane Department was closed to cats at the time.

One of the kittens has bite wounds and appears to be paralyzed.

PAWS is asking for anyone with information on the kittens found in the dumpster to contact them at 573-359-0113 or 573-359-5802.
