BRUNSWICK, Maine (NEWS CENTER) --  The Coastal Humane Society in Brunswick has taken on more abandoned cats.  

Two weeks ago, thirteen cats and kittens were found abandoned in a plastic tote near a gravel pit in Freeport.  A woman who found them took them to the Coastal Humane Society to recover.

Since then, three of the kittens have been adopted, and officials said it will be another few weeks before the others are ready.

However, just last week, seven more abandoned cats were discovered in a cardboard box at a construction site in Hollis. They were found by a maintenance worker on his way to work, and he took them to the humane society to be treated.  The cats are now spending time in foster homes.

One of the neatest things to see is when pigs really get their snouts down deep into the dirt and root around for food.  They're looking for roots, grubs, bugs, anything they can find.  They really are like little plows!  In fact people have known for a long time that the best way to prepare land for a garden is to let pigs trample around in it first!
