On my lunch break, I was dropping off some printing to our local Staples store for our cat rescue group. I was told to come back in an hour and the printing would be ready. I originally thought I'd have to wait until after work or risk being late back from lunch. I decided to make a quick stop back and happened to park in the exact spot I had been in an hour prior. When I came out of the store, I noticed a box in the parking lot just to the left of my car.

It was an Eggo waffle box, taped up with no air holes. With a fear in the pit of my stomach, I nudged the box with my foot. I could feel there was something inside, but there were no sounds.

I opened up the box, and there they were - three sweet little faces peering up at me. I shudder to think what fate would have befallen them had I not decided to go back when I shouldn't have or if I had not parked in the exact same space as I had parked before.

They are adorable and, once vetted and spayed/neutered, will be up for adoption. The two boys are Iggy Pop and Indie Jones, and the little girl is Ivy.
