As it says in the title, he crawled out from under the house while I was out on my stoop, having a cigarette break. I knew I couldn’t just let him run around, and he couldn’t go back under there and get lost.

I’ve seen his mother go in and out of there from time to time, but I also know her as a neighborhood cat that would likely abandoned him. So I grabbed him up and took him in. I have tried to poke my head and this access hole and another one on the other side of the house and look around a bit to see if there were any other kittens, but I couldn’t see or hear any.

It’s probably only about four weeks old, so I’ve been feeding him some wet cat food, giving him water. I have a roommate that’s going to foster him.

We’ve named him Raindrop because it was raining out when he emerged from under the house. He’s extremely snuggly, chatty, and active! ❤️

If I hadn’t been out there smoking, I wouldn’t have seen him.

But if you quit smoking you'll be able to save other cats for years to come!

It's always good to stop smoking, but telling smokers they should stop is not going to help anyone. Especially after the smoking part caused the discovery of this little fur ball, your argument isn't really strong to be honest. But yeah, smoking is bad for so many things etc. We all know.

Second-hand smoke isn’t good for the cats either.

Going outside to smoke helps, which they seem to do

I can do that already.
