A store employee heard kitten cries coming from the parking lot. When he went to investigate, he found four tiny babies in a bag by a dumpster. Immediately, he took them in and kept them warm.
"An employee who works for Asplundh found these 4 little ones (who still need their momma). He took them inside and another employee put them in a box to keep them warm and safe," Itty Bitty Kitty Committee said.
A friend of the employee contacted Itty Bitty Kitty Committee, a rescue in Charleston, West Virginia, and asked if they could help.
"I couldn't say no, they had already been through enough," Dorella Tuckwiller, founder of IBKC, said. The kind folks bathed the kittens, combed out the remaining fleas, fed them and wrapped them warmly in their little blankets.
Safe and warm!
The kittens are just a few weeks old, and still need bottle feeding.
They are all cleaned up and flea free.
IBKC took them into their foster care and now the litter of four is thriving.
One of the babies is quite a cuddler.
She snuggles up to her caregiver for a much-needed hug.
"Thanks to one small army, four itty bitty lives were saved," Tuckwiller said.
"We are so thankful to all involved in making these tiny ones a part of our family. Welcome to a world where you will always be safe and loved."
