Meet Ouzo. There are some cats that are born with the cards stacked against them so to speak, such as senior cats, sick cats, cats with behavioral issues, and abandoned kittens, Ouzo belongs to the last group, and was sadly left abandoned with no mom or siblings at all. It can take so much effort to nurse a "trashcan cat" to good health- thankfully Ouzo had a lifeline, his incredible foster mom Sarah who lovingly nursed him as though he was one of her own kittens!

Similar to one of our favorite stories about a rescue cat born with four ears finally finding a home, or Memphis, the cat born with two noses who also thankfully found a loving home, Ouzo's story is a story of perseverance and love. Scroll down and read all the details to learn a beautiful and uplifting story with a happy ending, as well as to see endlessly cute kitty photos, from when Ouzo was a tiny kitten to his more chonky and floofy form today! Warning: he's pretty heckin' cute, so scroll with caution because you might fall in love.

Awww, the poor baby! Look at him, he looks like a teeny tiny smol bear cub, all sad because he was left alone. Who could abandon such a beautiful baby kitten? We're honestly baffled, but so happy that this kitty is now safe and sound in his forever home.

How heartwarming is that? We love to see kittens finding new mamas, even if they look nothing alike, this is such a beautiful mama and her kitten and nobody can tell us otherwise. We're so relieved and happy to see that Ouzo was nursed back to health by such a wonderful mama cat, he truly deserves the world!
