Two weeks ago, an diaper box of three abandoned kittens was found on the South Shore of Staten Island. And now it turns out that they probably had rabies, as one of the kittens positively tested for rabies. Vets tested a kitten that was put down after it became "lethargic, lost [its] appetite and developed blindness and paralysis"; its litter mate is being tested.
