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!

It is so good to hear that others will take the time to rescue these innocent little creatures that can bring us so much happiness.
I rescued a little kitten, just 5 weeks old, at our apartment complex not long ago....I brought her home, bathed her and we took her to the vet, where she got a check up and de-wormer. Our Jack Russell Terrier loved her! She was the sweetest kitten...7 TOES ON HER FRONT PAWS...
We tried like hell to find her a home, called all of the local shelters and Friends For Life. But, all were full. We could not keep her for financial reasons (she needed some healthcare). So, with a very heartbreaking and tearful 'goodbye', we left her with the Phoenix, Arizona Humane Society.
I hope she found a home. I miss her.

This is an adorable picture. I love the "snap shot" of kitten life. The light is just gorgeous and the expression on the little guy as he cleans his paw makes the shot even more so. Good work.
And good for you and your mom for saving those kittens. It amazes me how people would rather have animals procreate then destroy the babies instead of neutering the adults from the start. There is simply no need or reason to be cruel.

awwww that story made me so sad D: Here I was looking at a cute lil kitten to cheer me up since my pet died today and then a sad story just made it all worse. But that's otay cause it had a good ending I would SOOOOOO loooove to adopt a couple of kittens! Especially the little Calico. But I live all the way in cheyenne Wy so there's no way I could get her. D: she sounds like such a sweet heart though and she would get along so well with my playful siamese.
