Kitten found abandoned with heartbreaking note
A child left a kitten abandoned in a box and left a heartbreaking note explaining why they did it.
A woman came across the little kitten in an alleyway while jogging in Kirkland, Washington.
Her dog sniffed out the animal in a box, and the woman found a note with it that read: "My mommys boyfriend is mean to me. Desperet for a loving home. (sic)."
The little kitten was taken to the Meow Cat Rescue centre.

We first spotted the story at the Mirror, but the rescue centre shared the pictures of the kitten and the note on Facebook and wrote: "A woman was walking down the street with her dog and saw the box, no different than any other box.
"Her dog sniffed the box with interest and her intuition told her to check it out. When she lifted the flap, she found the note, written by a child pleading for someone to help a kitten who was being mistreated.
"When she looked inside, she found the little fluffy being. A tiny and perfect kitten, at the mercy of whomever found the box. She scooped up the box and headed home.
"She wanted to be sure the kitten was healthy so made an appointment with her vet. Thankfully, this kitten was in very good health....a little on the thin side, but that could be remedied. She brought the kitten to MEOW and asked if we could take her. We sure could!
"The baby is now in a foster home with other kittens of similar age and doing very well. We are so happy to have her. We have more questions than answers, but are forever thankful for the bravery of the child who knew the kitten deserved better and the kindness of the woman who saved the kitten."
