Poor little thing!!!!! 
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- When Maggie Rogers spotted something bobbing in the water 3 miles into the Gulf of Mexico while on a scalloping trip with friends, she assumed it was a turtle or a piece of sea kelp.
But as the boat got closer and slowed down, she found it was a tiny, apricot-colored kitten, 9 inches long and screaming at the top of its lungs. The cat was paddling furiously.
Rogers, who is the finance director at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, said the kitten was "exhausted and stressed" with a high heart rate.
The boaters on the 17-foot Scout Current Drift don't know how the kitten arrived in the Homosassa Bay. They said there were at least 40 boats in the crowded area where he was found.
On Tuesday, three days after he was found, a veterinarian found the 10-week-old, 1-pound kitten had worms, but was otherwise healthy.
He was adopted by Rogers' sister-in-law and named Nemo.

I love happy endings though! Nemo? How cute is that! 
) Nemo is an awesome name for him!
