Dumped Kitten: People really suck.

I was coming home from a walk, and was passing a local burger joint when I heard that tell-tale cry of a tiny kitten. I paused, and went to follow the sound. He was in the parking lot: little bitty orange puffball. Maybe three weeks old. He ran right upto me as fast as his stumpy legs could, screaming. I picked him up, looked around, asked the kids working the stand.. And then took him home. He chugged two bottles last night. We just got back from a vet-checkup this morning, and she confirmed my angry fears: no fleas, no parasites. He was someone's house-raised kitten that they dumped. :mad:

I'm undecided right now, but for the moment, he's going to get all the love, care, and vet-attention he needs. It's kitten-season so the shelters are full and craigslist is overflowing. :(

I know that there are a lot of a$$-holes out there that dont give a •••• but there are many people who do, just like you. Sadly, humans are supposed to be the most evolved critters on earth yet we seem to be the cruellest to all other living things.

A lot of people do suck. This is the first year in several that I haven't had (so far, knock on wood) at least one litter of kittens and/or heavily pregnant females dumped here.

Good for you, for helping! :hug8:

Kittens are fun and then they grow up to be nice house pets. I love my cats and miss having a little teeny baby someday maybe again I will be able to get another baby.

He ran to you because he could sense that you are a good person who would help him. Animals are so amazing that way! Good riddance to that family who dropped him off, he probably would have suffered even more if they had kept him :mad:

So....are you gonna keep him? :heart:

I'm trying to get a picture of the little wiggle with my webcam but he's a squirmy little rapscallion! :rolleyes: I tried to get a vid and it was impossible to handle my webcam and panicking fuzzy.
