Weird dream about kittens?

I had a dream that I was living in this really old big house, even though I have never seen it before in my life. In the dream my friend and I went upstairs to this area which kind of looked like a attic. In the attic there was a litter of black kittens, but also a small child appeared. The boy looked about 3 yrs old, and he had blonde hair. He also appeared to be filthy, starved, and dehydrated, and he was also shirtless. Can some one help me figure out what this odd dream means?
