Every time we come across a story of someone rescuing a stray kitten, the comments are always filled with "go back and look for the mother" or "try to find more kittens in the area, they might be there". Like clockwork, those comments are always there. Because it's true. Oftentimes, a kitten might wander off a little too far from its siblings and momma and get lost, but that doesn't mean that they are not looking for it. Sometimes, the rescuers go back, but it's rare for them to actually find the momma or siblings while having a quick glance. Of course, you may never find them, but sometimes, with enough patience and determination, you might. 

The person who rescued this itty bitty kitty… made the effort. The didn't come back to where they found the kitten just once or twice. They went back for weeks, hoping and praying to their find the momma or more kitties, since litters of one are so rare. And eventually, three weeks later, they found yet another kitten - a sibling from the same litter.

    Back in June, I posted about finding a three week old kitten (Dolly, on the right in the first picture) and keeping her because she fit in with my other four cats. I kept searching, knowing there were likely more kittens.. almost 3 weeks later, I found Nelson. From that moment, the two have been inseparable.

    Not only have they formed a strong sibling bond, they get along with all of the adult cats and have actually helped the relationship between them all. Before the kittens came along, our cat existed in two groups: the older cats (8&9 y/o) and the younger cats (5&6).

    They tolerated each other with some minor spats here & there (5 y/o cat is super playful and agitated the others), but didn't really play with one another or spend much time together..

    interestingly, the kittens have completely changed this. Because they are friends with everyone, the adult cats are more accepting of one another and rarely have incidents. They keep the youngest cats busy, and got the older cats interested in playing again! It's seriously so heartwarming to watch our almost 10-year-old 'couch potato' cat running laps around the house with kittens, filled with so much joy.

    Not only are they loving with the other cats and animals in the house (Rabbits and guinea pigs, they are very respectful of them), Dolly and Nelson are huge snuggle and love their humans as well. There has not been a night since we took them in that they have not come to bed and laid purring & snuggling us all night long.

  • We have to say thank you here. The dedication shown to go back again, and again, and again - that is something admirable, and we wish so many more people would act the same way. You have changed these cats' lives - both of them.

    They are both spayed/neutered now, so the stray cat reproduction cycle ends with these two. I never did find their mom, but I hope someone has helped her. It is something I think about a lot. A

    Shortly after taking them in, my grandfather passed away, and they were a huge help through the grieving process. Since then, I have dealt with some other personal stress and now a broken wrist and surgery to repair it- Dolly and Nelson are always by my side and as I lay here surrounded by them as usual, I can't help but think that all of this was for a reason. I am so thankful that these two came into my life.

  • If you hadn't gone back for the other kitten, we can only imagine how different its life would be. Here, they are surrounded by warmth and love and everything that they could ever wish for. There are where they should be, and we can only ask for one thing from you - more update, endless updates. We need to see more of them.
