Walmart Kittens Rescued!

Faint meows were heard when entering the Walmart on 19th Avenue and Bell and concerned shoppers alerted the store manager who, after a little investigation, found that the meowing was coming from under one of the refrigerator units containing sandwiches. Unable to reach the frantic felines, the manager summoned the Arizona Humane Society’s Emergency Animal Medical Technicians™ to the scene, and using a snake cam, AHS EAMT Juju, was able to  pinpoint the kittens’ location among wires, pipes and debris. The store manager reported that they found a home for the mother cat a few days prior but didn’t realize that she had stashed her two kittens in the store.

After several hours of disassembling the refrigerator unit, the kittens were rescued from their frigid fate and brought to the Arizona Humane Society. Being only a few weeks old at that time in April, the kittens were too young to go up for adoption and were sent to an AHS Foster Hero’s home.
