Gahhhhhh! Six little grey kittens were saved by a pair of cops in Brooklyn this morning—some heartless jerk threw them away in a suitcase!

The police tell us that at 7:26 a.m., officers responded to a 911 call about animal cruelty at 373 Wythe Avenue in Williamsburg, where a 30-year-old woman said that she saw a suitcase containing kittens inside the building's parking lot.

There were seven kittens in the suitcase; one of the kittens had an ear injury while another was dead. The six kittens were taken to the ASPCA and the police are investigating. (The NYPD is in charge of investigating animal cruelty, while the ASPCA provides care for the victims.)
