This little kitten was found by my sister-in-law in Athens AL at her apartment complex. The mother had a litter in an empty apartment, and was captured by some of the apartment workers, who released her into the woods and left the kittens sealed up in the apartment to slowly starve to death. By the time my sister-in-law got someone to let her into the apartment, this was the only kitten still alive, and had only survived the hot temperatures in the heat-box apartment by drinking stagnant water from the toilet.

This baby has been severely traumatized and needs a home very badly. The apartment workers have said that if she gives them the kitten they will take it to the woods and drop it off for "its mom to find it", but the kitten is barely old enough to be weaned. He purrs whenever he is picked up, and loves attention. She is trying to feed him meaty baby food, and he is eating small pieces of mashed up meat, but she is not allowed to keep the kitten, and is being pressured to have it brought to a shelter. All of the local no-kill shelters are full with animals from the recent disasters, and there is no where else for her to turn.

Anyone who can help this poor kitten please let me know, he needs a home ASAP. After seeing his siblings die of starvation he deserves more than to die alone after sitting in a cage in a kill shelter.
