Two kittens were dropped off last week at Maricopa County Animal Care and Control in Phoenix, but by the time workers found them, the kittens didn't make it.
Every day, workers with Maricopa County Animal Care and Control make it a point to check the front door, just in case someone dropped off any animals.On Friday, June 21, workers found little kittens that were just a couple of days old."Sadly, it’s not unusual for us, but we looked in and sadly, the first kitten had already passed away," said Kim Powell with MCACC.The workers did everything they could to save the second kitten, who they named Blueberry.
People should wait until the animal shelter is open for pets to be surrendered, especially during the summer months."When we leave them here on the cement asphalt, it can be very dangerous," said Powell. "It releases heat from the ground and burns their paw pads, and if they’re in a box like these, they’re not getting any airflow.
