On June 13th Hartford Police Animal Control Officer Thomas Fuller located the felines crammed into four carrying crates abandoned near the fourth hole in Hartford Goodwin Park's Golf course. The cats, varying from kittens to a pregnant female and suffering from heat exposure and dehydration, were immediately transported to the Kennedy Veterinary Center in Windsor for treatment. They remain in good condition.
