Tiny Kitten Seen on the Road Begging to Be Rescued Ends Up Having All Her Wishes Come True

A few months ago, a Good Samaritan spotted a tiny kitten crawling on the side of the road and stopped. The kitten cried out and inched towards the person. "She was lucky someone saw her and jumped to save her," said Ellen Carozza LVT, VTS (CP-Feline). “Right from the beginning, she was the sweetest kitten who wanted to be rescued."

A local animal rescue, To The ResQ, took her in and gave her immediate medical care but realized the kitten would need additional help. They contacted Ellen, whose Chris Griffey Memorial Feline Foundation (CGMFF) is dedicated to saving the most critical kittens.

2. Yup. Too cute. Poppy is a lucky girl. She's probably a good purrer too.

3. This Happened To Us!

During the summer, when school was out, my wife was selling ads for the local weekly.
She was in the car one day when she sees a kitten in the road. She stops, flags traffic, grabbed the kitty & put in the car.
She drove it to the vet.
Kitty was malnourished, had a respiratory infection, and had worms. The vet told my wife he'd do the work for free IF; we paid for meds & we kept the cat.
So we kept the kitten.
Because it was the same year as the movie, and the lead character had the same maladies, we named her Sophie (from Sophie's Choice).
Her growth was a little stunted. Her legs never grew to full length. I called her Stumpy as a nickname. We loved that cat.
She lived another 18 years!
