Abandoned Kittens Rescued in Jensen Beach

Three tiny kittens were found in an empty parking lot in Port Saint Lucie and rushed to Ocean Breeze Veterinary Medical Center in Jensen Beach. Veterinary Technician Denita Bohle was just about to close up the office for the weekend when the kittens were brought in.

They were in such bad shape she almost euthanized the tiny kittens but when she gave then food and water they seemed to improve.

"It just broke my heart that they were in such deplorable condition, yet they still wanted to be held and let me clean their eyes and didn't fight it at all," she says. "I don't know. For some reason, they just kind of touched my heart."

The three kittens, named Faith, Tessa, and Cowboy, all need special medical attention right now but will be ready for adoption soon. Faith has lost an eye due to an upper respiratory infection and Tessa and Cowboy will both need one of their eyes removed.

For information about adoption, call the Ocean Breeze Veterinary Medical Center at (772) 334-2273.
