Man Hears Kittens Meowing, Spends 7 Hours Digging In Dumpster To Save Ditched Litter Of Furballs

When Cliff heard a faint sound of a kitten crying from a pile of wood in a dumpster he knew he needed to act fast… Then he realized more lives were at danger, as there were more kittens cruely burried under the piles of wood. The man rolled up his sleeves and started a 7 hour digging rescue operation – although one of the kittens didn’t make it, the others were given a second chance at life…

“They got dumped in the dumpster, then there was wood dumped on top,” Cliff told Love Meow. Cliff even filmed how he saves a grey furry kitten, puts him on his lap and gives him some much needed TLC…

A Springfield, Missouri based rescue organization Watching Over Whiskers took in the kittens, fed their bellies, and made sure they got everything they needed to grow healthy and strong. A rescued cat named Roxy even became their ‘mother’, taking extra good care of the smallest two of the kitties.

Now all the kittens are happy at their new-found foster homes and are ready for the adventures!

”We are grateful Cliff took all that time to save these little lives. He’s a hero!” shelter staff told Bored Panda.

    Cliff, it is wonderful that you took the time to "undo" what some creep so carelessly discarded. NO animal, or living thing should be treated with such disrespect. Your reward will be abundant. <3

    I keep wondering how unlikely it is that no a single kitten was squished. Bad luck clearly surpassed by good luck!

    The man who saved these kittens, who took 7 hrs to save these helpless babies... That's the kind of man I want my unborn son to look up to, that's an example of a REAL man, a REAL hero, that I want to hear about and idolize... Not overpaid athletes, musicians, and the like... But real men who do heroic acts just because it was needed and didn't just walk away or ignore it. May be small in the grand scheme of things, but made a huge impact, if only for the kittens themselves. Thank you, Cliff, for doing something so wonderful...

    How can some heartless creep dump poor defenceless kittens in a bin,then try to kill them by throwing wood on them!he deserves to burn in hell for what he did!!!! Sadly the reason was probably his cat had kittens and he didn't want the trouble of caring for them. Thank god for people like cliff!

    It never fails to be-fuddle my brain how anyone can such a horrible deed. These kitties were obviously only a few days old, if that. Would the disgusting person have done the same to his/her own baby? Do unto others what you would have them do unto you.

    I really don't believe a cat would ever take her kittens to a dumpster.
