Tiny 'Spicy' Kitten Gets Rescued From Underneath A Truck, Is Looking For Warm Forever Home

No matter how many times we see it, our hearts both warm and break while reading stories about kittens getting rescued. The thought of those little defenseless creatures out in the cold, alone and waiting for help breaks us, but these stories, when they have happy endings, are some of the best stories ever.

Rescuing a kitten is already a wonderful thing, but to watch it then bond with other, finally not alone, is even more heartwarming. We have seen such stories before, like when a kitten got rescued from a tree and decided to adopt the couple who saved it or when a rescued kitten that was left in a box outside in the cold formed the sweetest bond with an orange cat or when a kitten sadly lost her brother and cried until she was rescued and found another kitten to spend her life with. No matter how many times we see it… it's always incredible, and this story is no different. A rescue, a growing bond, and wholesomeness all around.

"Extracted a kitten stuck under a truck. Meet Smudge Pot."

"Wife heard squeaking while on a walk Tuesday evening, thought it was a bird. I heard it Wednesday, finally figured out that it was coming from a junk truck across the street in the neighbor's yard. Little fella(?) was jammed between the underside of the bed and (I think) the cat converter. (Pun intended.) With the help of elder daughter and a can of food we finally were able to get him out. Probably helped that he hadn't had a drink or food for at least a full day. Maybe longer."

"Very scared at first; he's in the downstairs half-bath, it's small enough for him to become comfortable fairly quickly. And he did. Here he is screeching, about to leap fiercely on an attacking cloth ball."

"He went to the vet yesterday morning. I'd guessed him as six weeks. The DVM said he looked a bit younger, though in the 4-6 weeks range. Vet thought 'male' but Smudge is so young it's still difficult to tell."

"That's not a blep or derp, it's an avulsion injury. Apparently part of the gum below the lower front teeth had peeled back, exposing underlying tissue. The vet said that sutures would be a problem for several reasons. However it seems to be healing okay on its own, though the gum is unlikely to re-attach. As long as it's not infected (antibiotic given) and he can eat (which he does very well) there should be no problem."

"We aren't going to be able to keep him---our three cats often don't play well with others-- but I don't want to hand him over to the animal shelter. With the number of kittens cropping up at this time of year, it'd be a virtual death sentence. He'd be in for a week or so, then euthanize. That's a NOPE. NOPE. NOPE."

"So if anyone in the west KY region would like a playful, energetic, healthy (apart from the mouth), friendly kitten that's a bit too young to be on his own...holler. He's already decided that it's okay to occasionally roll on his back for belly pets. I will pay for his first shots. And there may even be ($) assistance with neutering."
