A MAN stole a 3-month-old kitten from a Minneapolis pet store, only to return it the next day with an apology note.

    A cat intake coordinator of Ruff Start Rescue, Abbey Lynn, said a man went inside a Minneapolis PetSmart on Friday asking to look at the cats. When the man was done, a manager locked up the cages and left him alone.

    Another employee walked by shortly after and noticed the lock on the kitten’s cage had been cut with a bolt cutter.

    Ruff Start Rescue said the kitten was returned unharmed Saturday in a box at a Roseville PetSmart with an apology note. The writer said he didn’t have money, and wanted to give the kitten as a Valentine’s Day gift.
