Seconds away from being crushed in a garbage truck, a snow-white kitten has found a new home in time for Christmas after being saved by the driver.
The two-day-old feline was found weighing just 93 grams, less than a tangerine, when a quick-thinking garbageman heard his tiny mews and fished him out of the trash that was being dumped and compacted in his truck.
Arriving at Blue Cross Animal Hospital, his coloration and his birth so near the most wonderful time of the year earned him the name Tiny Tim.
Tiny Tim needed to be hand-fed every two hours and, with his eyes not yet open as a newborn, he was kept in an incubator for warmth.
Following his brush with death, Tiny Tim was able to find a loving new home with another Blue Cross rescue kitten named Oskie, the sole survivor from his litter.
