Police say 30 cats and kittens were found abandoned, hungry and thirsty and covered in their own their own feces, in a parking lot off Route 372 Tuesday morning.

The animals, three adult cats and 27 kittens ranging in age from three weeks to four months, were found by a passerby.

Cromwell Animal Control Officer Cheryl Gagnon says the animals were inside three pet carriers. She says there were three crates. Gagnon brought them to the shared animal shelter in Portland.
