Kathryn van Beek was walking home one wet and in Kingsland, Auckland, New Zealand when she gets the shock of her life! Seeing a newborn kitten, doing his best, crawling along the sidewalk with his umbilical cord still attached.
Not making a sound he was crawling along on his belly, he was probably trying to find his Mum. She immediately picked him up and took him home, giving him the meal he so desperately needed.
Had she not found Bruce as he came to be called, he probably would not have survived the night.

As it was, it was very much touch and go, with a very vocal and demanding kitten, a noise that very much belied his size.
Having to get up at all hours of the night to feed him was soon rewarded with his first purrs. Though he still had a long way to go!
