Cat stuffed in paper bag, left in dumpster now safe thanks to rescuers

A Carilion Police officer arrived and peered inside the trash can. He located the noise’s origin, and the scene there was distressing. A paper grocery bag with a six-week-old kitten inside of it had been placed in the trash.

It’s difficult to fathom what type of heartless person would abandon an infant kitten in such a way, so it’s a miracle she was discovered in time.

Pictures depict the officer rescuing the kitty and escorting him to his patrol vehicle. The kitten, now known as Toby, was brought to Carilion Clinic for some urgent veterinary attention before being given to Angels of Assisi.
