Awww! Poor thing. I hope it is OK.

Purrs and prayers for the little one being sent.  AND A BIG HUG FOR THE
RESCUER

Unbelievable! So glad your neighbour took the poor little mite in, and
that you will give him/her a home.

So glad that your neighbour stopped and saved the poor kitten.  So glad that
you can adopt it!  Any more details on the kitten - sex, colour, etc...?

Oh No!! I am *so* glad they found that little one. Some people are
heartless.

Poor baby!  He/she  must have been so frightened and cold.  Thank
goodness the kitten is safe now!  And as you say, thank goodness it
was not subjected to even WORSE treatment.  Dirty litterbox offerings
to the heartless sod who dumped the poor kitten, even so.

Makes you wonder if it was a drive by dumping. Or if it fell out
of / off a vehicle by accident somehow? I'd not be in a hurry to
condemn anyone. Without being sure.

In any case, glad kitty is getting good care, now.

I think this kitten is so lucky.  TW for this post I've attached
that describes what could have happened.

Yesterday morning I went out on my deck to have a morning smoke. My wife
doesn't allow me to smoke in the house. As I stepped out I saw what I
believed to be the cutest little kitten lying on the edge of my deck
looking down to the ground below. It was bitter cold the temp. on my
thermometer read 0. I walked over to the kitten and to my horror it had
froze to death. A large lump grew in my stomach, being a lover of cats and
having two of my own, this saddened me greatly. I thought to myself about
how this poor cat had suffered and cried in the night. The weather man said
the night before that we would have the coldest night of the year. This was
very true as I had stayed up late the night before and worked on my
computer until around 3:00 a.m. I would take a break about every two hours
and go outside to have a cigarette. Each time I went out I bundled up and
braced myself for the frigid wind that was blowing, not hard but enough to
make it bitter. The mercury fell steady all night and the last time I
checked it was around -5 degrees. The only thing I can imagine as to why
this kitten ended up on my deck, was sighting me outside and seeing a
chance to discover warmth if it could only get my attention. It never made
it in time to catch my eye.
   My wife and I returned home after celebrating New Years Eve with
friends last night and the thought of that poor kitten gripped me again.
Still lying on the deck gripping the rail and frozen in place. I know that
it was feeling no pain anymore but it was still very cold outside. The
thought reduced me to tears as I watched my own cats walking circles around
our legs smelling the dog that had licked our feet earlier this evening at
our friends house. How can someone let this happen! I went outside to where
Orange Peel(we post named him) lay. Picking him up, seeing the pain of
death that was frozen on his face, I sobbed. My wife had retrieved a
shoebox, washcloth, and tissue paper in which we wrapped him and prepared
him for burial. The box was to small so I retrieved another from the
garage. With a black marker I filled out the face of the box.

       Rest In Peace          Good kitties always
        Orange Peel           Bring peace to those
    unknown-Dec 31 1997       Who love them. Gone
                              too soon, but you're
                              in a warmer Place.


Please make sure your pets are provided proper warmth during the winter
months. Bring them in when it's cold. We all know they are animals but the
fur coat sometimes is not enough to save their lives. We also know that
they pass on. If you have a family pet you know the love and adoration they
hold for you. They rely on you and they TRUST that you won't hurt them.
They believe in you for all you do and they never doubt your decisions.
They are the best friends any of us have ever had. I never knew this
kitten, but I can still hear the cries in my head that I wish I would have
heard the night before. It was the saddest start to a new year I have ever
had. Somewhere there is a little girl or boy that could use a friend. Make
every effort you can to save the lives of our pets and remember to have
your cat's spayed or neutered. Unwanted strays rarely have a chance to
survive the winters cold realities.
