Thief River Falls <\/strong>(trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Staff at the Pennington County Humane Society are caring for several tiny kittens that were found in a load of garbage.<\/p>\n

The kittens were discovered at LES Sanitation.
\nWorkers there spotted the animals among the refuse and stepped in to help.
\nShelter staff say the kittens are now safe and off the truck.<\/p>\n

According to the Humane Society, the animals are very young.
\nThey arrived dirty, chilled, and in need of quick care.
\nStaff say they began an initial medical check as soon as the kittens came in.<\/p>\n

Workers focused first on warmth and simple comfort.
\nThe kittens were placed in heated bedding and monitored for signs of stress.
\nThey also received food and fluids suited for very young cats.<\/p>\n

Staff say the kittens will need baths to remove grime from their fur.
\nGentle cleaning helps reduce the risk of skin problems and illness.
\nShelter teams are careful not to chill the animals again during that step.<\/p>\n

The Humane Society thanked LES Sanitation employees for their actions.
\nWorkers kept the kittens safe until they could reach the shelter.
\nStaff say that quick response likely saved the animals.<\/p>\n

Cases like this highlight the value of watching for animals in unexpected places.
\nPeople who see injured or abandoned pets are urged to contact local shelters.
\nQuick calls give rescuers more time to respond.<\/p>\n

The Pennington County Humane Society often relies on donations.
\nSupplies such as formula, canned food, and pet-safe cleaners are always needed.
\nMany shelters also welcome foster volunteers for young or fragile animals.<\/p>\n

General tips on caring for orphaned kittens are available from national groups
\nsuch as the\u00a0ASPCA\u00a0<\/a>and the\u00a0Humane Society of the United States<\/a>.
\nThey stress that very small kittens often need round-the-clock bottle feeding.<\/p>\n

Anyone interested in helping local shelter pets can watch for updates on upcoming adoption events and supply drives.
\nThe humane society is expected to share more details as the kittens grow strong enough for future placement.<\/p>\n
