Three abandoned kittens were found on a hiking trail when a couple of hikers heard their cries.

Janis and Dean Smith from Canada were hiking on Bastion Mountain in British Columbia yesterday without a hint of idea what the night had in store for them. By the end of their journey, they began making their way back to their car when they thought they saw a skunk on the road.

As they took a closer look, they were surprised to discover three little kittens wandering about by themselves without a mom. Two immediately ran up to them, meowing and begging for attention while the third kitty was hiding behind them.

The kitties appeared to have been abandoned in the mountain as there was no resident within close proximity. The couple scooped them up and called a friend for help.

Barbara Gosselin, founder of Shuswap Paws Rescue, was then contacted. "I got a call at 10:30 last night. The hikers found the kittens where there were no houses," Barbara told Love Meow. "They got my address and brought them to me."
