“Imagine our surprise when the box was opened and these lovable fellows were found inside!” the Auburn Police Department wrote on its Facebook page.
The small kittens were taken to a vet to be checked out. They are now headed to the Auburn Valley Humane Society to go up for adoption.
Auburn police have a message for whoever left the kittens sealed up in the suspicious package: “To those that left them there, shame on you!”
