Description
Thanks for the DD!My mom went to pick up some neglected horses to take them to their new homes. When she arrived, this little orange kitten ran up to the truck to greet her. The entire time she was there, he would follow her around and every chance he got, he would try to get in the truck or the trailer. Eventually the owner of the property asked if she wanted to take him home. She reluctantly agreed. This poor little thing was absolutely COVERED in fleas. He was hungry and had some sort of eye infection. Here he's all wet because we gave him a bath to help with the fleas. Since he was too young to use your regular flea control, we ended up picking the stunned fleas off of him by hand xD
As it turned out, there were 3 more litters of kittens where he came from. One of the owners had been putting the kittens in a crate and leaving them in the woods to die to take care of the "cat problem." My mom and her friend were able to organize a rescue and we got all of the kittens out of there. So far, they've all found new homes (including Savvy's sister Lyra, who we decided to keep as well) except for 2 of the smaller kittens. If it wasn't for Savvy insisting to go home with my mom, then all of those kittens probably would have died. Go Savvy!
As a side note, since this picture was taken Savvy has been dewormed and the rescue we were working with gave us a tube of flea/tick control for kittens. His eye infection has also cleared up. He's the biggest, fattest, most mischievous kitten out of the whole bunch. If anyone lives in the South Carolina area and is interested in adopting the last 2 kittens, let me know! One is a muted calico who was born with a deformed ear. She is VERY thin, but oh so playful. The other is a sweet little brown tabby with white paws. She loves to be cuddled. The remaining 2 along with Savvy and Lyra are having the time of their lives in our barn! We transformed one of our empty stalls into a kitty play room and they loveeee to irritate my adult cats when we let them have the run of the place.
Update: All kittens have found homes!

Ugh. How horrible! If you know you have a "cat problem", why not just take the adults to a shelter on free spay day? What kind of monster would say "I'll just dump them in this box and leave out back... that'll fix it". I am so glad your mother had the heart to take this poor little guy home, and then turn around and save the rest of them.
That being said, this is a very cute picture. Reminds me of my little girl when she was a baby.

wha a wondeful story! I love it when people rescue lil cats! I donΒ΄t know why some people throw them away like rubbish, they say cats can live in the nature...but in the end cats arenΒ΄t wild animals...they are our pets and they are a victim of our society! so we have to care for them!!
itΒ΄s so wonderful to ehar that all kittens have found a new home!!
good work!meow:3

awww sad story. i feel so bad for the kittens in the woods. i'm glad you found them and the one with fleas probable didn't like getting wet.
i would of loved to have a kitten but i live in california,palmdale. and even if i lived near you i still might not have one from you.
we don't have the money for shots and food. we had three cats the youngest died first middle age died next then the oldest oscar, died last weird right.
we have a dog named timber we had him my hole life. i'm a year older then my dog. instead my dog ran from my cat he loved the cats. oscar would chase timber and timber thought it was a game so he ran from oscar, oscar didn't really like timber. timber gave oscar baths like bye licking oscar.
sometimes oscar didn't mind but when timber did it to much he hated it. we have oscar's ashes. he liked to sit in the sun and get scrached under the chin. he curlled up in my moms lap and purred.we miss them all but oscar the most.
