Kittens found left at an abandoned school

Hello all! So these are my uncles photos. But he was exploring in Gary, Indiana and found a cart full of two kittens that were left by the owner. Right at the steps of the abandoned school.

Power of exploring and urbexing I suppose

And yes, he's adopting these kittens in case anyone is wandering.

I've not run into any abandoned felines in a building before but I too would struggle to let them go if I ever did find some.

I found a newborn litter at Lincoln Mall as it was being demolished a few years ago. The humane society in the next town over took them in, was told they all survived with a surrogate mother and later found homes.

Thank you! A family of urbexers is always a good thing I think!

Who knows what else we could encounter!

Wow I'm so glad you found those little furballs! It's pretty depressing to see people just leave these cats in locations like this. People sure do suck sometimes :/

Honestly I wish I could keep one of them! But it's good to keep both kittens together since they could already be pretty bonded

NOT trying to rain on anyone's parade here...

The kittens looked to be in really good shape. Could it be that a good samaritan saw them, cleaned them up a little & gave then a nest/bed, BUT THEN LEFT THEM WHERE THEIR MOTHER COULD FIND THEM??

It's normal for a mother cat to go wander several miles away from the nest, searching for food.

I definitely understand it's a judgment call, and the emotions of any decent person are always screaming "They're abandoned -- remove these kittens from this hostile environment immediately!" but that's not always the case. Cats aren't domesticated like dogs tend to be -- they can survive without human interaction, unless the mother of young kittens did abandon them, got killed (or captured by another good samaritan...).




There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.

My family is involved with a T-N-R org, we've been dealing with feral cats for years. Based on what's been shared, I'm leaning toward these guys being abandoned by humans vs. ferals born on the street (with a mother on the loose). They have blue eyes, so they're probably a month or so old... at that age, they would def not be socialized to be handled that easily, or out in the open on a stoop. OP made the right call, here.

I don't understand this situation. This is the act of bad people who do not know kind words and deeds.
