Kitten on Brink of Death Saved by a Puppy!

When this kitten was found he was only two days old, stuck under a log and covered in maggots.
His rescuer found him in a field behind her apartment all thanks to her dog Opie, who heard the little kitten crying out for help.
Over the next few weeks the kitten was hand-fed back to health and eventually grew up to be an extremely handsome little guy called Roscoe. This is Roscoe’s rescue story:

After a nice bath and a visit to the emergency vet, Roscoe seemed to be doing much better.

He stayed nice and warm in a nesting box that they created for him.

Around 10 days old, Roscoe began to open his eyes.

When Roscoe was still a little baby, he ate his replacement milk from a syringe.

He loved to be held and cuddled after feedings.

And then he would crawl back into his nesting box and fall asleep beside his pink bunny toy.

At almost 2 weeks, both of his eyes were open.

His eyes were open for almost a week, but this was the first time he was able to actually clearly see his human mommy.

Around 3 weeks old, Roscoe graduated from the syringe to a bottle. He was growing so quickly!

He began spending more time out and about, playing with his toys.

At 4 weeks, Roscoe had become a master escape artist, always plotting ways to escape the walls of his playpen.

Roscoe and Opie spent a lot of time cuddling and playing.

Roscoe loves attention and would seek it out even when his mommy was trying to study.
