Not everyone gets the best start in life. In comparison to the squalor that some enter into this world, the confines of a hospital can seem rather gauche even. At least that is when you compare it to plastic bag that this story's kittens were found in shortly after being birthed.

This story from Reddit's r/kittens subreddit is not the typical tale that is told on the forum. Usually kitten pawrents tell sweet stories about their growing cattos and all the cute and crazy things they get up to as they discover the big wide world. But alas, amongst the fluffy and joy lay this story, a story of resilience, a story of determination and a story that proves that the power of can sustain you through far more than you could ever imagine.

At least that is what we have taken away from this tale in which a litter of newborn kittens we found in a plastic bag, left to rot. Their rescuer already had four cat children of her own at home (which is enough work as it is), but still decided that it was her duty to take on these kittens in need. And with the might and motivation that only love can give, she cared for them day and night.

Wowza, that is just unreal. We have heard our fair share of kittens being dumped stories. But in a bag in the searing heat really does take the biscuit. How could someone be so cowardly to deal with a bunch of kittens that so many people would beg and plead for if offered. But that is what the situation was, there is no changing that. Thankfully this cat lover was around and experienced enough to know what to do. Kittens are a handful as they are, so you can only imagine what it is like to care for a bunch of newborn kittens you have never met before. Full of potential problems and unable to walk to express that something is wrong. What a massive undertaking.

We have to say the Cat Distribution System got real lucky this time around. This was one heck of a challenge to put on someone’s doorstep and if even one or two small things hadn’t panned out just right, there is a good chance that we would not be telling such a happy story. But, as some would say, that is exactly what the CDS specializes in and that the system had full faith that these cat pawrents were up to the task. And it seems that those people were right and that by all accounts these kittens have been well and truly saved from a life on the streets.
