One regular night turned into something magical for a couple heading out for a good time. Just as they pulled up, the husband noticed a small, delicate kitten who was clearly in distress.
The little kitten looked very ill and exhausted. She was so small, she could’ve easily curled up inside a teacup. After realizing the kitten wouldn’t make it on her own, they decided to help her.
The couple named her EJ, in honor of their previous foster kitten named Erica Jr. who had sadly раssеd аwау. The wife continued:
“I don’t know how he spotted her because she was so thin and all by herself. I don’t think she would have made it through the night.”
EJ was fighting a dаngеrous infection that put her life at risk, and as a result, she lost a significant amount of weight. In the face of this difficult situation, the couple decided to take matters into their own hands.
They diligently fed her through a tube, kept her warm in an incubator, and even gave her a teddy bear to bring her comfort. The wife mentioned:
“She was fighting either a viral or bacterial infection. Her weight was going down. She would not swallow on her own, so we started tube-feeding. She was in an incubator. I put a teddy bear in there with her as her little buddy and someone to snuggle with.”
Their unwavering commitment and affection gradually began to have a positive impact. EJ’s progress took a positive turn when she started eating independently. As the time went on, the couple kept a close eye on her development. The wife shаrеd:
“We were just so happy when she could finally eat on her own. That was a great day because I knew that she was growing and she was thriving. The fact that she not only survived but flourished – it’s amazing!”
After she gained an entire pound, they organized a special party called a “one-pound party” in her honor. It was a way to celebrate her achievements and have a good time.
Over time, EJ grew from a tiny kitten into a lively and energetic one who loved to eat. Additionally, the wife made sure to text her husband every time the kitten reached a new milestone.
After recovering, she was all set for her forever home. Even though it was hard for the couple to say goodbye, they were overjoyed when a caring family took EJ in.
