A Cox Communications cable company worker in San Diego was stunned to find two kittens clinging to life inside a box packed with fiberglass equipment he opened at work.

The cats were sent to the San Diego Humane Society, which said it is taking care of them. The Humane Society also named the kittens Mouse and Wifi.

“They actually came to us with their umbilical cord still attached,” said Jenny Bonomini, manager of the Kitten Nursery, in a statement posted on the Humane Society's website. “What we think happened was the mom had the babies and she put them in a safe spot .?.?. and she left. Then they got boxed up and they got shipped.”

Once healthy, the cats will be sent to a foster home.
