Mary Musselwhite was throwing away a cart of trash Thursday evening when she heard the kitten's faint cry, "So I looked down and I said, please God, don't let it be in this bucket. And there it was. I popped the top on the bucket and its little painted face just meowed at me. It had so much paint on it, your heart just couldn't help but fall. Its little eyes were just covered over with paint. It was just horrific to see that little thing in a paint bucket."
