Last week, I was dropping off some printing for our cat rescue group at our local Staples store during my lunch break. 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 at 5 p.m. or risk being late getting back from lunch.

I decided to make a quick stop back and happened to park in the exact same space where I had parked an hour earlier.

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 shut with no air holes.

With a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach, I nudged the box with my foot. I could feel that something was inside, but I heard no sounds.

I opened the box, and there they were—three sweet little faces peering up at me.

I shudder to think what might have happened to them if I hadn't decided to go back when I shouldn't have, or if I hadn't parked in the exact same space as before.

They are adorable, and once they've received veterinary care and been spayed or neutered, they'll be up for adoption.

The two boys are Iggy Pop and Indie Jones, and the little girl is Ivy. They're on our Facebook page and will be listed on Petfinder once they're old enough.
