A tiny kitten was found with a severe eye infection all by himself.

"He was abandoned at a vet's office around 2 weeks old with a pretty severe eye infection. The vet had plans to euthanize him the next morning, but one of the techs smuggled him out of the office and contacted Angels Among Us," Stevie Richards told Love Meow.

Stevie was in the process of adopting another cat from the organization when Odin found him.

"We had already been looking to adopt Mia, an FIV+ rescue, when the opportunity to adopt Odin was presented."

When he met the little ginger kitten, it was love at first sight.

Since Odin lost his eye at a very young age, he doesn't notice he's any different.

"I can't say he's just like every other cat, because he's not. There is not another Odin anywhere in the world," Stevie told Love Meow.

"Odin's personality resembles that of a dog. As a matter of fact, one of our dogs Megan (another ginger) has taken a maternal role since he was a baby.

"He LOVES food and snuggling even more. When the mood strikes him, he makes rounds to every animal and person in the house to give head bumps/kisses," Stevie told Love Meow.

Every time Stevie has dinner, his three furry companions stare at his plate until the last bit is gone.

"This is every dinner for the rest of my life and I love it."

"I'm sure it's no surprise that life without Odin is unimaginable. He is absolutely engrained into our hearts and souls and a member of the family.



"A part of me would die if anything ever happened to him. He's my baby boy," Stevie said.
