Last month, someone kind found two kittens next to their mother cat. The mother tried really hard to protect and feed them, but she passed away. The person took the kittens to a special clinic, and then they went to a shelter.
The people at the shelter really wanted to find someone to take care of the kittens at home, making sure they got all the food and love they needed. Nadija, who looks after animals for AnimalLuvr’s Dream Rescue, volunteered to help.

Meanwhile, in another foster home, there was a fluffy gray kitten in desperate need of friends.
The lone kitty was frail and malnourished when he was rescued, but through tireless efforts from his carer, he bounced back and started to seek affection.

His foster mom noticed how much he craved a constant companion and asked Nadija if she could take him on. Without hesitation, she welcomed him in with open arms.
“He’s the same age as my little guys. He has been working hard to catch up to his new friends.”

The brother and sister duo instantly embraced the newcomer and included him in their snuggle pile when they napped.
The new kitten has put on weight, and his appetite has improved. Being around other kittens of similar size encourages him to eat more and be more active.

He no longer feels lonely and has grown more adventurous and curious about his surroundings.
“He’s even yelled at me for second meals, which is music to my ears. His energy level is up, and he’s playing with toys and wrestling with the other kittens.”

“Fuzzy guy is fitting in so well with the two chunkers. This handsome young man is the first of the three to use a litter box, and I am so proud of him.”
Now, all three of them join in a cacophony of meows when their foster mom comes in with food in her hands.

The two boys demand their meal atop a scratching post while their sister screams from the floor. The smell of their food sends them into a whirlwind.
At 4-5 weeks old, they are ready to sample their first solid food.

“They will continue to be bottle fed while weaning until they no longer want the bottle, but it’s important to supplement them because, at first, they won’t be eating enough on their own.”
Despite their rough start, the brother and sister are now living their best lives – complete with a new feline buddy they adore.
