‘I’m grateful to have been a part of their rescue and to help them find loving forever homes.’: The heartfelt rescue of three paint covered kittens ends in heartwarming success and a few painter inspired names

Kitten rescues are a terrible thing to have to deal with. Now, we are not talking about the kind of kitten rescue that involves a basket filled with feline bundles being dropped off at a local animal shelter. We are talking about finding vulnerable kittens in terrible situations who need tons of help to get them back on their feet, or even just to keep them clinging on to lifelong enough that they manage to make a recovery.

Which is what our heroic cat rescuer had to do when she came across three kittens who at the tender age of two weeks were left in a dumpster covered in paint. And with some paint-staking work, our hero nursed them back to health. It is safe to say that both the kittens and hoomanity as a whole are ever so lucky to have people like this story's rescuer.
