POLICY WIRE — Minneapolis, United States — Orphaned kittens from the Bitty Kitty Brigade had an unforgettable experience as they explored the Sea Life aquarium at the Mall of America, encountering sharks, stingrays, and other marine life.

The event, part of the rescue organization’s sixth annual aquarium field trip, gave about two dozen kittens names like Lottie Dottie and Bendy Wendy a chance to socialize and interact with aquatic creatures. Some kittens were mesmerized by the fish, while others played around the underwater tunnel.
