In a shortened clip on the Facebook page, a man is seen picking up a kitten from the bed of a truck and throwing the animal several feet before it hits the ground, rolls and then appears to attempt to return to the truck before the video cuts out.

“It was three tiny kittens and all three are doing great — getting a ton of love from our amazing volunteers,” said a separate post on the society’s page that features a picture of the man. “They must have two different mothers due to the age of the kittens, so he may have two unaltered females that could have more babies. Thank you for all your help — our three new babies appreciate all the support.”
