A Dunedin kitten discovered in a suitcase on the side of the road clinging to life among his dead siblings has been named Phoenix.
Dunedin Cat Rescue co-founder Sharon Pine said the incident was "absolutely awful".
The organisation was notified through social media after a woman and her partner found the kittens in a suitcase on the side of Coalstage Rd in Kinmont about 8.30pm on Wednesday last week, Ms Pine said.
