HAWTHORNE, Calif. (KABC) -- An abandoned kitten, who was discovered in a mailbox in a Hawthorne animal shelter, is in need of a home.
The kitten, Brett, was left inside the mailbox of the spcaLA South Bay Pet Adoption Center back in March. A staffer of the shelter discovered the "mailbox kitten" after hearing mewing, which led her to the mailbox.

Fortunately, Brett received immediate veterinary care, and was fostered by a volunteer who bottle-fed him, and is now in good condition.
"Abandoning an animal is a crime and very cruel," said Madeline Bernstein, president of spcaLA. "The kitten could have easily died inside the mailbox."
