AUBURN, Wash. -- "Shame on you!"
The Auburn Police Department had a stern message to the person who dumped a box of kittens along the side of the road overnight.
According to officers, someone reported a suspicious box along the side of a road around 1:00 a.m. Friday. It was duct taped shut.
Once the box was opened, officers were shocked to find a litter of kittens inside.
The kittens were taken to Auburn Valley Humane Society for a full checkup -- and hopefully adoption.
