Kittens, at this age, are not supposed to be separated from their moms. Without them, they have a very slim chance of survival. This is mostly because the mom helps their bodies operate normally while they're still young, things they can't do on their own, like use the litter box or eat properly. But on the other hand, they are the cutest at this age. They're so small, with their eyes still closed and tiny tails pointing up to the sky. It's pawssible for them to survive without their mom, but you have to know exactly what you're doing.

There are many reason why it's good that Mortimer was saved like this, but one not many people think of is because if he had been taken to an animal shelter, the chances of him getting adopted would be much lower than other kittens. Black cats are still the least adopted cat, even today. People still have strange superstitions around them that pawsitively make no sense. Can you imagine this tiny little baby being bad luck? We can't.

Cat mom saves week-old baby black kitten from frostbite in -8 degree weather after student flags her down in the middle of her work commute: ‘[The vet] was skeptical about him surviving’
She was stopped on her way to work and presented with one task: keep the kitten warm, and get him to the vet as fast as pawssible.
It's our dream to be able to call out of work because we found a kitten on our way, and have to rush home to save them. That's the best excuse we could ever think of for missing work. Although it sounds exciting and adorable, after reading this story, we can only imagine how stressful it must have been as well.
A cat mom and her partner were flagged down by a student on her way to work. He bent down in front of her car, picked up a baby black kitten, maybe a week or so old, and handed it to her. It was -8 degrees outside and there was snow everywhere. Obviously, they rushed the frostbitten kitten home, warmed him up, and made him some formula. They got him into the vet, but his prognosis was far from purrfect. They weren't sure he was going to make it.
However, fast forward three months, and the kitten, now named 'Mortimer', is a playful, healthy kitten who loves his mom and dad. If they hadn't stopped at that exact meowment, who knows what would have happened to Mortimer. He has come a long way, and we hope he's never cold ever again.
