SHELTON, CT — An animal welfare non-profit is offering a reward for information after two abandoned kittens were found in a bathroom at a Walmart store, located on Bridgeport Avenue in Shelton, over the weekend.

According to a news release provided by Desmond's Army Animal Law Advocates, the two kittens "were left scared and alone in the store's restroom" Sunday around 1 p.m.

Desmond's Army is offering a $5,000 reward for "information leading to the arrest and prosecution of the individual(s) responsible for abandoning" the kittens, according to the release.

The release also noted surveillance cameras captured footage of a person of interest.

"Abandoning helpless kittens in a public bathroom is a heartless act of cruelty that endangers their lives and reflects a disturbing disregard for animal welfare," Desmond's Army Co-Founder Zilla Cannamela said in a news release. "These precious fur babies deserved better, and we are committed to ensuring that those responsible are held accountable. No animal should suffer in silence – your tip could bring justice and help prevent future acts of abandonment."
