What would you do if you were faced with an army of raccoons that were threatening a little kitten? You read that sentence right, we promise. A bunch of raccoons have, for some reason, decided to attack an itty bitty kitten, and majoras-skull-kid on tumblr heard a scream in the middle of the night, and suddenly, this person was fending off raccoons and trying to rescue this poor sick kitten. 

We can only admire them for what they have done, honestly. Not only for being so heroic, but also for going out of their way to help this little furball - to rescue this feral kitten, take it into their own home, nurse it back to health, take care of it, and - hopefully - to adopt it alongside their other three cats. This story is one of the most unique animal adoption stories we have ever heard, and we are so glad you shared it with the world.

    Font - majoras-skull-kid Follow Not me sitting in a lawn chair with a flashlight and a hockey stick chasing away raccoons from the baby kitten underneath our deck who refuses to come out! Been trying to trap this kitten for 2 days. We were in bed and then I heard a SCREAM so now l'm on the kitten night watch. Chasing away raccoons. I've seen the same one six times now in the last 2.5 hours majoras-skull-kid Follow Don't know if the scream was the kitten or the raccoon just being a raccoon and no

    We can only imagine what this must have been like to go through. Hearing a scream in the middle of the night and being both brave enough and crazy enough to go check it out. Then, somehow managing to see a black kitten in the darkness, realizing that it was being attacked by raccoons of all things, and deciding to be a heckin' hero.

    It's a story for the ages. You, out there in the darkness, wielding a hockey stick and fending raccoons away from a kitten that was as terrified of you as it was of them. No gratitude from it or nothing. You just did it because it was the right thing to do, and we are amazed.

    Head - majoras-skull-kid Follow We've got really bad ringworm but look how far we've come!! We had our first vet appointment earlier this week and we're doing so great despite the ringworm and intestinal parasites. We even had our first bath this week.

    Font - We've been calling him Woodley; he's about 9/10 weeks old with a really bad case of ringworm that's resulted in almost complete hair loss of his tail. He had his first round of vaccines and dewormer and is being treated for the ringworm and some intestinal parasites. He is an incredibly spicy foster baby. I've fostered around 28 feral kittens (most from the neonatal age) because I used to be a veterinary technician. Somehow even after my employment I just keep finding feral kittens. The c

    Font - Anyway, he's getting boosters and his FELV (feline leukemia) test in a few weeks and will have been about a month into his ringworm treatment by then and hopefully can get him into a rescue group while still fostering him because we have a cat dad extraordinaire adult cat who LOVES foster kittens and teaches them the all important cat socialization, grooming, and healthy play. Unsure about coat length, I would guess he'll be a medium hair. As for his color, he seems to be a chocolate colo

    Font - Please enjoy some recent photos of Woodley who I think is going to be an enormous cat Imao. His personality has really started to shine and he's just such a sweet and playful kitten. Also his fur is growing longer! He is becoming a fluffy man! We are in danger of having a fourth cat at this point!
