Oh how terribly sad,what a dilemma for you all, i sure hope the best can be done for this poor little kitten, here in NZ it is illegal to hit an animal and not stop, but they still get away with it, that is what happened to Zara the semi-feral who was one of my rescue cats kittens,that i had spayed, and was killed a week later, they hit her and did not stop,i wished i had witnessed it, i would have taken down the licence plate and reported them, maybe it is time to get a petition organised in that state and get the law changed.

I wish you all the best with this baby , and hope there is a good outcome.
