Kind Person Thinks She’ll Babysit Kitten for a Few Days But Her Other Rescued Cat Has a Different Idea
A kind person thought she would babysit a kitten for a few days, but her other rescued cat had a different idea.
A Good Samaritan found a tiny calico in their backyard without a mother or siblings. After searching and waiting to no avail, they contacted a local animal rescuer, Patricia Lika, for help.
At 3-4 weeks old, the kitten, Penny, wouldn’t have survived outside in the unrelenting heat. Patricia took her in and started bottle-feeding her around the clock.
Penny immediately sought affection from her foster mom. Despite her tiny size, she had a ravenous appetite and a big voice.
To ensure the kitten never felt alone, Patricia spent ample time with her, keeping her occupied and reassuring her that she was loved. “She acclimated quickly and enjoyed being the only spoiled baby.”
Whenever Penny wanted attention, she spoke her mind loud and clear.
Once she ventured beyond her playpen, she befriended the resident cats and was thrilled to have constant companions. She discovered the joy of toys and realized she could play peekaboo under the couch.
“She loves being outside her kitten enclosure and quickly became friends with my older cats, but we always knew she would benefit from another kitten her size.”
Around the time Penny was found, Nikki, a fellow animal rescuer, was at the municipal shelter for a 2-week-old kitten who needed a foster home.
“She was very fussy about bottle-feeding, so for a short period of time, I had to tube-feed her in order for her to survive,” Nikki shared with Love Meow.
