For the four kittens found in the snow, the road ahead is not yet clear. “They are eating well, but the tiniest one, the little black one with such expressive eyes, had a setback, and is very fragile,” Shackelford said. “[He] will need TLC for some time before we feel confident he will survive his ordeal.”
Once the rest of the kittens are healthy enough, they too will need a new family to keep them safe and warm.
