Description Thanks for the DD! I suppose I should put Savvy's story in here in that case.

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!

Aww, what a sweet little guy! I hope his parents were taken care of, too, so this doesn't keep happening. It's wonderful that all of those kittens could be saved.
It's a great picture of the little guy, too. Congratulations on the DD!

This photo makes me happy and sad at the same time. A little while ago, my orange tabby got hit by a car and killed, and just yesterday my calico was killed by a fisher cat. Thank you for posting the story though. It's very heartwarming.

how hard is it for the owners of the mom of those kittens to get the mother spayed? Apparently not as hard as just being heartless and leaving little ones to die in the wood :[

It's so great to hear this story. If i lived in South Carolina I'd love to take the Brown tabby in. It's nice to hear of people caring for animals just as much as if they were people. :3

God I hate it when people outright kill animals to take care of the "problems" they present. It makes me wonder what those people would think if aliens showed up to take care of the earth's human infestation.

hehe.
we once found a litter of kittens on our property. a little black one, a gray one, and a light colored tabby.
our cat at the time decided to take care of them, till we took them to their new home, at my mom's friend's home.

And our current little kitty (a calico!) we found in the second snow of february (rather she found us), a few years back.
she'd been half-muted and her front paws declawed (poor girl), but shes really sweet and mischevious.

glad savvy found you! no creature deserves to just be left somewhere, especially if they can be helped.

Savvy's so cute!

BendustKas [2011-08-02 01:27:03 +0000 UTC]

Aw! He looks just like my little Pooka when I found him, all wet and adorable! The story's pretty similar, too! I was walking home w/ some ice cream from moser's and I heard a mewing sound. Found 3 little kittens! Pooka looks like you're Savvy there, but there was also a flame point we've named Bonzai and a gray tabby she-cat we named Elektra (sadly, she died of a very strange infection...there was a maggot in her neck!) Both the living kittens are now a year old and living happily!

I dearly wish to put them in a crate. But instead of leaving them out in the woods, I'd toss them into the ocean.

It really does break my heart when people think cats are of no worth, when they're actually one of the most affectionate pets that humans have. I can't believe the owners would do that. It's so awesome to hear a good ending like this! If I was in your area and had room, I'd take that little calico in a heartbeat. We already have two kitties and a puppy right now, which is all we can afford, sadly.
