Two litters of kittens found living inside a Lowe’s hardware store in Chester County will soon be ready to find their forever families thanks to the efforts of a local animal rescue.
Lisa Newton of Lucky Dawg Animal Rescue in Avondale said she got a call from one of her volunteers two weekends ago after the kittens were found inside the garden center at the Lowe’s in Downingtown.
Employees discovered the kittens when they went to pull down a pallet. The kittens, who Newton said were approximately three to four weeks old, had been living in boxes on the top shelf.
Newton said it appeared that one of the litters was delivered right on the top shelf.
“The rescue at Lowe’s was crazy,” Newtown said. “They had to use a forklift to go up and get them.”
The litters belong to two moms, both feral cats who were often spotted in the store’s garden center, according to Newton.
Newtown took the kittens home in a carrier and, with the help of volunteers, was eventually able to find the two mothers and the “baby daddy.”
Given that the kittens were found in the Lowe’s garden center, Newton said they’ve been named Forklift, Herb, Pallet, Planter, Grass Seed, Lowe, and Rose.
Newtown said that the kittens are doing fine and are still a few weeks away from being ready for adoption. You can fill out an application to adopt them here.
The moms and the “baby daddy” are in the process of being fixed and receiving their vaccinations, Newtown said.
