My neighbor called me in tears on Thursday. She saw a kitten that looked like it was hit by a car. Could I come? Of course. Little 8 week old calico kitten, it’s face a bit bashed up. Probably not hit - maybe thrown from a car while being dumped. Sweetest kitten in the world. My nephew is probably going to adopt it. People are scum. StG ---

Our older cat, Baby, had been living on the streets for 8 or 9 mos. when she was picked up by Animal Control. She leans her head over to keep her balance, had respiratory issues, and some broken and rotten teeth. Almost certainly hit by a car. The second cat, Bobby Mewler, had been picked up as a stray and was pretty healthy but had no microchip. The third one, Newman, just showed up and had no chip. They either got lost or were dumped. ---

Nephew can’t keep it - his other cat is having a hissy fit. I’m going over to pick it up. Maybe I can make it into a barn cat after vax and spay/neuter. We’ll see what my current barn cat thinks. StG ---

Awww, what a cutie! So glad to hear he found a home, and what a great find to read about a bonus kitten being saved. I hope you can post pictures when she’s a little more camera-ready, **StG**. I can’t imagine what sort of horrible person could throw a kitten from a car. ☹ Thank you to all you kind souls in the world. ---

Trying to get a pic of the new kitten, but she doesn’t stay still long enough. It’s a problem. StG [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cat-lovin-dopers-and-newman-makes-three/819366.md?page=1)
