WARE, MASS. (WHDH) - WARE, Mass. (WHDH) – Ware Animal Control said two kittens trapped inside of a black trash bag were rescued after being thrown into the water.

The kittens drifted to shore next to the bridge on West Main Street while in the bag. Tyson DelRosario, who was on break from his job at a nearby barbershop, said a woman who found the kittens flagged him down.

“She looked like it was really important, so I kind of followed her over there and that’s where I heard the cats,” said DelRosario.

The woman had to run to work, so DelRosario said he went home to get his friend Tim Giles and they came back with towels to rescue the kittens. DelRosario then called animal control and a volunteer picked them up.

Ware Animal Control posted on social media about the incident. A witness reached out and confirmed they watched a suspect get out of a black truck and dump what they thought was a bag of trash into the water.

Both kittens, who are black and gray and have been named Puddles and Rain, are recovering at Dakin Animal Shelter. Although specialists said both kittens are in rough shape, they are both expected to survive.

Anyone interested in adopting the kittens can contact the animal shelter here.

Ware Animal Control asks anyone with information to come forward immediately.
