A tiny neonatal kitten named Brucey has had an oversized impact on kitten rescue.
Brucey and his litter of six kittens landed in an emergency veterinary clinic in Youngsville, Louisiana, after their mother died giving birth to them in the summer of 2024. The clinic put out a call for help on social media, and nursing school student Torie G. Roberts volunteered to take them into her home to bottle feed and nurture them.
“I grew up around animals. My family had a cattle business and a farm,” she said. “At a very young age, I learned that I was very good with saving kittens.”
