An 11-year-old New Jersey boy saved a beer box full of kittens from a trash bin.Richie Gallimore was taking out the trash when he found the box, which was taped shut. However, enough sound escaped for Richie to know there were kittens trapped inside.
"I heard baby cats meowing, so I thought, 'OK, I'll take them home,'" he said.
He and his mother contacted a rescue organization, and now the five kittens -- two females and three males -- are up for adoption.
Hat Tip: Renee, who also has a really sweet photo of the kitties.

We cannot conceive the evility of such cruelty as the mind set of a monster who can thow life away as if it were trash.
I have to cats, Livingston and Rose, who were pulled from the trash.
With so many oganisations who would take these animals and care for them, I am appauled that stuff like this still happens and we dare call ourselves civilized.
