A few weeks ago, a Good Samaritan from Southern California found a litter of three kittens left beside a dumpster, desperately needing help.

The kittens were around one week old, and one of them was missing a paw. The finder immediately brought them in to an emergency clinic to seek medical attention.

The trio were very young and would need round-the-clock care. The veterinary staff began reaching out to local rescues for assistance. "That's how we heard of their request for help," Amanda Hodder, the founder of Kitten Rescue Life, told.
