COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — Six kittens thrown out in the trash in Council Bluffs are ready for a new home.

Officials say a city sanitation worker found the 5-month-old kittens on a street corner on Aug. 2. They were in a plastic container amid the garbage cans.

City animal control officer Galen Barrett says the container was like an oven. He says the kittens were overheated but didn't appear to have been starved or abused.

The kittens were taken to the Council Bluffs Animal Shelter and are doing well. Shelter volunteer Sandy Riddle says she thinks they were someone's pets, and hopes they will be adopted soon.
