BENICIA, Calif. (KGO) -- Two little tabbies were dropped off in terrible shape on Oct. 13, 2016 to a Pet Food Express in Benicia. Officials say the kittens, dubbed Will and Grace, had their legs bound in rubber bands and were apparently used as bait for pit bull fighting. Despite efforts to nurse them back to health, Grace had to be euthanized due to a severe gangrene infection. Will is still recovering.
