Employees at a Lowe’s in Pennsylvania were shocked after they went to retrieve a pallet high on a shelf and heard a chorus of frightened mewling.
Atop the boxes the pallet held, they discovered 7 kittens across two litters.
The store in Downingtown called Lucky Dawg Rescue shelter and explained their predicament.
Lisa Newton from the shelter received the call, and went down with her cat carrier to investigate.
“They directed me to the Garden Center and said they have 7 kittens, and I was surprised at that. And, they said, ‘two separate litters,'” Newton said to WPVI News.
“They had to get the forklift and go up and get them. One of the litters, you could tell that’s where the mom had delivered them.”
One can only imagine what a strange life it must have seemed for the little creatures as they opened their eyes—the whole world being confined to the box tops on the rectangular shelf, surrounded by a lethal drop to the floor below where strange, bipedal giants routinely chattered and walked about.
The store employees say two female stray cats frequent the Garden Center, and obviously liked it enough to have their litters there. Newton has since heard that the two cats are still around, so Lucky Dawg is planning to return and capture them for neutering.
As for the kittens, Forklift, Herb, Pallet, Planter, Grass, Lowe, and Rose will be available for adoption soon on the shelter’s website.
