On October 15th, we were on a job site in Aurora, Ohio. A tiny kitten came out of from underneath a deck from an abandoned house next door to job site, went up to my husband and cried for help, his left eye was infected badly and was almost closed, he didn’t even weigh a pound!

A tiny kitten emerged from beneath a deck seeking help.

We were afraid he would get ran over with equipment, so we asked our customer if she had a box, so we put the kitten in the box and in our truck to keep safe.

I tried to find anymore kittens and couldn’t, I also tried to find him a home, and couldn’t. So we have a new kitten. We went to the vet the next day, for medicine and instructions on how to care for a kitten. 

I named the kitten Princess Aurora but the vet said it’s a boy, so I named him Toby. He was only about 4 weeks old when we got him, he just had his second checkup and some vax, he is doing great and weighs about 2 lbs now and getting bigger everyday!

We couldn’t be happier! He was litter box trained in 24 hours from getting him. He is so smart!

The kitten’s left eye was badly infected and nearly closed.

We installed him a kitty cat door to the door in his bedroom so our beagles wouldn’t go eat the cat food. We love him so much and are thankful that he asked for our help.

Now I get to spoil him rotten with toys and love.
