I went to a friend's house earlier, and there was a kitten about to be eaten by a huge Rottweiller. Apparently the person that she had gotten the kitten for decided she did not want it, and dropped it in the yard as she left this morning. I just can't wait to see this girl again! It looks like a little Himmie, beige with dark points and tail. It is much too young to be away from his mom. I cannot keep him, so I am going to speak to the local rescue groups, and put his pics up in Petsmart. He likes my s/o, so I think maybe he has been around men. He had to be bathed to get the dirt and dog drool off of him, so he is currently wrapped in a towel and a pocket made from rolling up my shirt, sleeping. He is sooo cute. I let Fred sniff him, so Fred is sitting on the floor, doing the new kitten pout.

OMG, how ignorant and uncaring can people possibly be???? Actually, that's not ignorance, that is abuse. Using one animal to bait another is defined an almost every state's law as cruelty. Oh, and NC does have felony provisions in their cruelty laws. Rebecca, if you want more info on the animal cruelty laws in NC, let me know. But if nothing else you can sure rub that in her face - that she could be facing criminal charges!

Thank goodness you were there to save this little one.

Oh my! What some people do just floors me!
Does the baby need a vet visit do you think? Perhaps someone at the vet office will fall in love with it once they hear the story and you will find a home? I would make an appointment at their busiest time and not sit quietly in that chair if you catch my drift!

Right here! :)
It is so unbelievable that people can be so cruel and thoughtless.
You are an angel for saving the little kitty, I hope he will find a good home.

He is just adorable. He had been with me for only about 45 minutes when I made the first post, was wet, cold and terrified. He has the bluest eyes and the sweetest little face. He has eaten, drank, and littered fine, and loves to be held. He especially loves to be wrapped in a blanket and held like a baby. He wants to visit with the gang, but they want no part of him. I saw the reciept from his vet visit when he was picked up from where ever they got him from, so I don't have to worry about that for now. It is my vet, also, but closed for vacation this week. Since he has no injuries, and is acting normally, I feel safe waiting until the vet returns. I let Fred sniff him, but they hissed at each other, and Fred bopped him on his poor little head. Not hard, just a little swat. He is comfortable in a carrier, so I put the carrier, food, water, and litter box in the bathroom while I am at work. They can all sniff at each other under the door while I am gone. He has already tried to get under the door, but it is low enough so that he can only get a paw under it. The other's paws are too big to get through. My s/o took him from me to look at, and the little one immediately starting purring SO loud. He was told "don't you purr at me" then allowed to climb under his beard for a cuddle. He is such a big softy when it comes to kittens. I don't think it will be a problem to find a home for such a sweet little guy. I am hoping Kiwi will be able to take him. I will be happy to meet her halfway.

Oh you're so lucky you know he's OK! I'm so glad he wasn't injured. Our gang doesn't take well to new visitors (usually). It takes at least a few days for everything to settle down. It takes a few weeks for Spook to adjust. But the little babies don't seem to mind being separated for a while just so long as they're getting love and attention!


I'm so glad you rescued him! Sounds like he and your s/o might not want to be separated....
