Woman rescues one-week-old kitten from overcrowded shelter and finds it a furrever home to flourish and grow

Kitten season is apparently quite a tough time to be a cat recently born into the world. If you are lucky enough to be born into a family that has hooman pawrents already, then your chances of making it through are much higher. But if you, like many others, end up being born on the streets, your chances of making it to adulthood are dramatically reduced. Shelters are overflowing or only taking sleep appointments, there are kittens everywhere competing for food, and there is hardly anyone looking out for you.

But there are a few lucky fur babies who manage to make it into the hands of heroic hoomans who will not stand for an innocent soul being left alone, and do whatever they can to support the growth of their newly found fur baby. Our precious protagonist is of that ilk and while she did what she could to make sure this kitten was given everything it needed, she knew there were others who could do better for the cat child. And so with a heavy heart she had to make a decision that no feline pawrent wants to make.
