I love a happy ending! +pictures :')

Unread post by Skyshot »

About a week ago my room mate and I heard a little kitten in distress before we crashed around 3am. It had been cold and rainy all night but we went out (flash lights in hand) none the less with the goal of finding it. After a half an hour of stop-and-go looking and listening we found the frightened little kitten (a little male) cowering under a thick bush on a neighbors property. There was no owner or momma cat (or litter mates) in sight so my roomy went around to try and grab him but he predictably ran off in fear. It was quite the chase but we eventually got him and brought him home to warm him up, dry him off, and get some food in him. He was nothing but skin and bones, filthy, shivering, covered in fleas and had an injury on his lower jaw. Even though he was still way too young to be weaned off of mothers milk he was no stranger to soft, mushy cat food. He also had no issues with being handled by people (but didn't like getting a bath ;)) so we strongly felt he was either lost or abandoned. The latter of the two being the most likely case in the town we live in. =(

We would have kept him if not for our only other cat (who doesn't always like other cats) and her rather unfriendly reception of such a fragile kitten. So we kept him happy and well fed while my mother asked around to find him a good place to call home. A day later she called from work with the best news I heard in a while. Her good friend from work and his wife wanted to take the little guy in. The already have four other cats (2 of which are kittens the same age) they had rescued and nursed back to health and said they would love to add to the family. He came to our house after my mother got home that evening to pick the little guy up and take him home.

Last we heard they have named him Moses. He's spotlessly clean, flea free, putting on weight (back on a formula/kitten food diet), growing like a weed... and when he's not playing with the other cats, he's curled up for a nap on his new mom or dad. ;D I've never been happier with an outcome and wanted to share some of the joy. :D

We found our last cat in a similar way... she was hiding under the supermarket dumpster, trying to find something edible in all the rancid food. We named her smokey because we thought she was all grey until her second bath, she was so filthy.

A friend of mine rescues cats and she said that a cat that's been on the street will always show more love and loyalty, because it knows how good it has it. That was definitely true for Smokey, even though she was just two months old when we found her. Your mom's friends will have a very loving cat on their hands. ;)

We're just glad he was easy to find. Sure he might not have been easy to catch...
From the way his cries carried, it made it sound like they were coming from one of the drainage pipes under the street from time to time.
The little guy had us rather worried he was down one of them. I gave a sigh of relief when we spotted him under the bush. :)

Could you tell that to our kitty Bella? We rescued the little thing as skin-and-bones kitten, abandoned in a ghost town in the middle of nowhere. And yet she's turned into such a little snit! :lol: Though I guess I shouldn't complain as I'm the only human being she seems to like...

I'm glad Moses found a loving home. He looks like such a little sweetheart.

I guess there are exceptions to every rule, but I still think her loving you kinda proves my point. ;)
