Little Nina was 5 weeks old when they found her on the side of the road. It's amazing what a little food, warmth and love can accomplish.

"We found her on the side of the road in Cleveland Ohio, covered in mud and getting splashed by cars. I picked her up with intentions of nursing her back to health. The vet was kind enough to give me a free exam, which was enough to tell me that she has a severe upper respiratory infection and extreme malnutrition. Her eyes were glued shut with yellow gunk when I found her. And the vet told me that she thought she was about 5 weeks old, but was the size of a 3 week old kitten," said Nina's rescue mom.

They managed to raise enough fund to pay for Little Nina's medical bills. Today, Nina's grown into a beautiful kitty cat. It's amazing how far she's come!
