First, I have lurked here for years and learned a great deal I might
add. When I read your post I had to post as I too have rescued a badly
damaged male kitten this week.
He was found outside a factory and thought to be dead but a kind woman
realized he still had life left in him, took him to a vet and after a
few days and a couple of connections, he ended up at my house. This
little guy had two bad puncture wounds on his chest and neck which
required surgery and earned him his new name, Stitches. He weighed
under a pound when first found but is now up to about 2 pounds in just
10 days. He is also white with patches of brown tabby stripes.
I have enjoyed the company of several cats in my life but have never
experienced the cuddling and tender joy of a tiny kitten sleeping on my
chest/neck. My, my, it is a sweet happening!
Good luck with your little guy. Mine is staying with me. My other
tabby is finally over being scared of him and has come out from under
the bed to sniff him and even play some tag.

Good for you. Sounds like lots of good deeds going around.
Although Puckster would be fine with kitty mates, DH wouldn't. It's still
sweet when all 65#+ of Puckster cuddles up - he has to hear our heartbeats
before he'll go to sleep. But, then there it the convincing him to "go lie
down" where he's supposed to be!

Hugs to all there. And get him neutered and keep him... I think he's were he
belongs.

How great that your DH found Little Guy. Ut's a good deed to rescue little
hurt guys. Glad he's doing well, and I hope it continues. Good wishes and
cuddles from Puckster & I.

Bless your DH for his compassion; there are people who wouldn't do that. I
hope Little Guy continues to thrive on your love, and that you find the
right home for him eventually, wherever that turns out to be (you might fall
in love with him). I have two boy cats now, and would not likely
deliberately get another (both of these were "temporary" cats, one of whom
has now been temporary for 10 years!). Both are neutered, but the old guy
in particular, from the day he arrived, has systematically sprayed every rug
I have, and is the main reason I need to replace my hardwood. Love them to
bits, now, but would pick a girl if I had a choice next time
