Ottawa Bylaw is investigating after three kittens were found abandoned in a cat carrier on Canada Day, one of which later died.
In a short Twitter thread, Ottawa Bylaw said the kittens were found on Don Reid Drive near St. Laurent Boulevard. They appeared weak and unable to stand.
It was nearly 30 C at the time and the cats had no food or water. It was unclear how long they had been there.
While the kittens were immediately brought to a veterinarian, one passed away, Bylaw said.
Ottawa Bylaw is now looking for information about who abandoned the kittens to provide to Provincial Animal Welfare Services for investigation.
