Last week Prinsloo was driving down Campbell Street in Extension 8, when he noticed a black refuge bag lying inside a pothole.
He avoided the pothole and when he looked in his review mirror he noticed that the black bag was moving across the road.
“I immediately turned my vehicle around and went back to the pothole to see what was inside the plastic bag,” said Prinsloo.
When he opened the plastic bag, two tiny kittens stuck their heads out. They had blue eyes and gave a tiny little meow.
Prinsloo placed the kittens inside his vehicle; he first asked the neighbours around the area if the kittens belonged to them, they said no and that there were three kittens inside the bag.
Prinsloo took the kittens to his wife Ms Lize-Marie Prinsloo and she immediately took the kittens to a vet to get the correct milk supplement for them.
“They started drinking from the bottles immediately,” said Lize-Marie.
Lize-Marie gave one of the kittens to her friend Ms Lucille Prinsloo.
The kittens were between three and four weeks old when they got them.
“Their teeth have only started coming out now,” said Lucille.
Lize-Marie has named her kitten Timmo and Lucille has named her kitten Diego.
These kittens have a will to live, despite the fact that their previous owners left them for dead.
Both Timmo and Diego have each got their own character and a wonderful personality.
They spend hours playing with one another and their new “human” mothers are enjoying every moment caring for the bundles of joy.
Inspector Mpho Mokoena from Witbank SPCA was contacted for information about the Animal Protection Act.
“Because the kittens were in a confined space, without water or food and dumped, it all falls in the Animal Protection Act, under Act 2 in section B and C and Q and R,” said Mokoena.
