The Justin Bartlett Animal Rescue took the kittens in and said they were starving and suffering from parasites.
They were taken from their mother too early and are being bottle-fed for the time being, a rescue center employee told The Huffington Post on Sunday.
Fortunately, the kittens are expected to make a full recovery and should be available for adoption within a month.

On Friday, the rescue group shared photos of the kittens on its social media page. One of the photos shows three men cradling the kittens in their hands while wearing Solid Waste Authority uniforms.
