Orphaned Cougar Kittens Arrive At Minnesota Sanctuary

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Of all the arrivals at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport this weekend, one couple really stood out.

The Wildcat Sanctuary in Sandstone was notified by the state of Washington that two wild cougar kittens tragically lost their mother. The sanctuary stepped up and acted quickly.

The kittens arrived at MSP Airport Saturday evening.

The sanctuary says it will take some time for them to trust humans and they are happy to provide the kittens a home.
