There are a few moments in every person's life when they're presented with a crossroads between doing the right thing and sitting idly by. For two girls living in a small town, that crossroad came by recently when they stumbled upon a trio of neighborhood boys attempting to hit a home run at the baseball field using a runty kitten instead of a ball. 

Shocked and horrified at their jests, the girls quickly came to the aid of the kitten, scooping up the tiny feline and deciding to do everything they could to save him. While the kitten was smol and malnourished, the girls came just in time, quickly establishing themselves as the kitten's new mothers and heroes of the day.

    in a small town there really aren't any resources. We have cared for many adult cats and cats with disabilities, blind, feeding tubes... but we have never cared for a kitten this young before, so any helpful tips are welcome.
