A hungry little stray kitten walked up to a skateboarder, asking for food and love. The man didn't stand a chance!

"I found her while I was out skateboarding one day, she wasn't timid at all and just walked right up," Casey Shaw told Love Meow.
The tiny ball of fur was covered in filth and wouldn't stop sniffling and sneezing. The kitten approached the young man meowing for food, and Casey knew he couldn't leave her.
He grabbed a crate from his car, placed the kitten in it and took her straight to the vet.
"Turns out she had an upper respiratory infection, mites and an eye infection. Got her everything she needed and was a healthy little kitty in a few days."

"I couldn't imagine not finding her at this point, it stormed the next day and it breaks my heart to know that she may not have made it if I wasn't in that one place at the right time and that there are other cats and animals that aren't as fortunate as her."
Margot was falling asleep in her human's lap, purring away. She was happy to have a roof over her head and people to love.

The vet estimated the kitten at 5 weeks when Casey found her.
"It makes sense, she was separated from her mother too early and to this day still finds comfort nursing on blankets and fingers."

A few days later, her ears perked up and eyes wide opened.
Little Margot decided to give her human's skateboard a go. She is a natural!

"One of her favorite things as well is to be carried around on her back like an infant, she just loves constant attention and affection," Casey told Love Meow.

Whenever her human dad packs his bag, she wants to be included too.

"I like to think that she knows I saved her, she wants to constantly be near and fully trusts my girlfriend and I," Casey told Love Meow.
"As I type this she's actually napping next to me with her paw on my arm to make sure I don't leave."
Margot, one year later!
