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!

oh my.. when I read that sentence "If it wasn't for Savvy insisting to go home with my mom, then all of those kittens probably would have died.", I had that weird feeling.. Like, to think that 1 little kitten is able to save a bunch of it's companions..
This story has really touched me D:
This cat is so adorable, seriously. And if I would live near South Carolina, I would sooo adopt at least 1 of the both kitties, but unfortunately I don't even live CLOSE to the USA D:
I hope for them that they'll get the home they deserve<3

Congrats on the DD ^^

But seriously, you really don't know how grateful and honestly honored I am right now... Thank you for saving all those animals...It makes me so happy when I hear great things like that... Please tell your mum/mom I said thanks (hehe sorry I am a Brit girl ) xD, but yeah, after reading that, I feel so much happy to know those poor, little, innocent lives were not wasted. *hug*

Oh noes, a kitten! How to survive this cuteness overload!

The story is remarkable. I have two cats of my own, where the youngest one is also a rescue from a stable. Unfortunately for her, one of her siblings was already dead when we found them, and the other had to be put down 'cause of head trauma (believed to have come from being stepped on by one of the horses). But this little girl is staying strong.

Your mom and friend deserves a reward, as do you! And so, grats on the DD.

God bless you for this. As a cat and animal lover it absolutely pisses me off when people boxes up animals sticks them out to die like they are garbage. Ugh. But I guess if the person was neglecting horses too, this shouldnt be surprising. >.<

If I had my own place, I'd adopt one- as I'm in Georgia. Sadly, my parents have said no more pets. T_T Two dogs isn't enough. -.- Anyways, I'm glad Savvy helped save his siblings and kin. <33 Thank you and Mom!!!

Great photo and cute story

It's adorable you picked them up and it's like the kitty knew your mum would help them. Good luck finding them new owners! I've tried finding new owners to a bunch of animals, it always seems impossible at first because everyone seems to have a pet already or lives in a flat but it works out at the end.
