People often abandon pets or their little ones. In some houses when pets have babies, they are taken care of till they can be on their own and given up for adoption. But most houses the little ones are abandoned, dropped off near houses, street ends.
It's a very cruel way to deal with animals. Both the mother and the little ones would be sad when they are seperated. Little ones have to fend for themselves and are subjected to the elements. Often they end up being hurt by larger animals and killed.
Here is a similar story about two small kitties we found abandoned inside our compound. It's fun to watch them running all over the place, being active and playful. We are happy we could save them and hope the other kitties in the litter also found good homes.
