"An abandoned cute little kitten" or "a cute abandoned little kitten" [duplicate]

Solution 1:

There is a degree of flexibility in the ordering of adjectives, but a frequent order is this, given in ‘An A-Z of English Grammar and Usage’ by Leech and others:

  1. describing or expressing feeling
  2. size
  3. age
  4. colour
  5. defining

Cute expresses objective feeling towards the kitten, so would come first according to that schema. Little clearly expresses size and would come second. Abandoned classifies the kitten, and so can be considered defining and would be last. This analysis produces the sentence that Flexo has provided.

Solution 2:

I wouldn't use either of those options. I would say:

I saw a cute little abandoned kitten.

I'm not sure why, that's just my intuition.
