Coming across an abandoned tiny and helpless kitten on the street is a heart-wrenching thing each and every time. Our hearts cannot help but go out to them, and yet, as much as we wish we could help, that's not always a possibility. Thankfully, this injured awwdorable itty bitty black kitten has lucked out, being rescued by some wonderful people.

After not finding the kitten's mom, Covidnineteen on imgur picked the kitten up and took it home, bringing it to the vet, feeding it from a bottle, gently introducing it to the purrfect senior cat and the dog in the house. Not everyone would have undertaken such a task, so we feel like we absolutely have to say thank you. We wish this adorable rescued kitten as well as its family a long and most happy life together.

"Found this guy last night mewing for help. I waited and looked for mom or siblings. Poor guy has sores all over his foot pads. He spent the whole drive him trying to feed out of my beard."
