Three underweight kittens are on the mend at the BC SPCA after being found injured and abandoned in a dumpster on Vancouver鈥檚 Downtown Eastside.

鈥淭hese three little kittens are small for their age and clearly had a traumatic start to life,鈥 Vancouver branch manager Jodi Dunlop said Friday.

鈥淭hey were left for dead in a box in a dumpster. We are so thankful to the Good Samaritan who found them and the couple who stopped to help get them to the shelter for care.鈥

The three kittens were immediately brought to a veterinarian for treatment. One of the kittens had a broken pelvis and trauma to the face, which included bleeding in the eye and nostril and difficulty breathing. All three of the kittens were flea-infested and had internal parasites.

鈥淭hese kittens are so cute,鈥 says Dunlop. 鈥淒espite what they have been through, the current prognosis for all three of the kittens is good.鈥

All of the kittens require a special feeding regimen because of their age and will be vaccinated, de-wormed and spayed or neutered. The kitten with the broken pelvis and trauma to the face will require an ongoing series of x-rays and pain control.

BC SPCA officials didn鈥檛 detail the total cost, but the animal-welfare agency operates on grants and donations.
