1 of 3 Kittens abandoned in Kelowna scrap yard survives, has 'fighting spirit'

Two of three newborn kittens found abandoned in Kelowna scrap yard died despite emergency care; one survives with steady weight gain under foster care, BC SPCA says.

  • On August 14, a worker at a Kelowna scrap yard discovered three newborn kittens in different locations and quickly brought them to an animal hospital for emergency treatment.
  • The worker searched for the mother cat but found none, and one kitten was critically ill and euthanized shortly after arrival while another did not survive despite receiving fluids and incubator care.
  • BC SPCA Kelowna manager Shannon Paille said the surviving kitten is being bottle-fed every two hours by a foster who also weighs it daily, with the organization covering emergency medical costs and seeking public support.
  • Paille described the situation as heartbreaking, noting the kitten is eating well and gaining weight, and BC SPCA remains cautiously optimistic about its recovery.
  • This event highlights the importance of foster care and community support for abandoned animals, as only one of the three vulnerable newborn kittens continues to fight for survival.
