Andy Carvin rescues a kitten

The Carvin family found a kitten on the road and is trying to nurse him back to health. The rescue, of course, has been tweeted.

Thanks to all who offered to donate $ re: the kitten. If you're determined, pls give to your local no-kill shelter, then tag it #gave4kitty.
