It's good news for the 7 kittens found in a laundy basket in Fernhill Cemetery in Saint John on Monday afternoon.
3 have been adopted and 4 are being fostered by Saint John SPCA Animal Rescue League president Melody McElman.
McElman tells CHSJ News says the kittens are quite young.
She tells us their teeth have just broken through so she had to bottle feed them and the next day put some older cats in the same rooom who showed the babies how to use the litterbox and eat soft food.
McElman tells us that Dr. Catherine Adams of the Fairvale Animal Hospital in
Rothesay have offered free vet checks and the first two shots for the four kittens she is fostering.
McElman says this situation shows the serious problem of cat overpopulation and how badly a low cost spay and neuter voucher program is needed in Saint John.
All 7 kittens are spoken for.
