Newly-Rescued Kitten Insists On Bringing His New 'Friend' Everywhere
What was that? The faint, high-pitched sound of whining, or meowing? It was hard to make out, but construction workers investigated the North Carolina site in late 2020, only to find a teeny tiny black-and-white kitten in some rafters. The crew immediately jumped into action to help the poor little guy. But it quickly became clear that he needed something to soothe his raging abandonment issues, and his rescuers had just the thing.
All Alone
There was no mother or siblings in sight. The scared little kitten was there by itself, afraid and shivering. Members of the work crew hoped that the feline family would return for the little one, but one of their colleagues saw something that dashed that happy ending to pieces.
An Abandoned Kitten
"The mom was seen taking his sibling away," Sparkle Cat Rescue volunteer Sarah Kelly told LoveMeow. "But after being left alone all night with the hope that his mom would come back for him, the workers found him in the morning and contacted us."
Sparkle Cat Rescue
According to its Instagram bio, Sparkle Cat Rescue is a "nonprofit feline rescue organization saving the forgotten felines: abandoned, homeless, neglected. 1000+ rescued since 2014." When the crew got to the kitten, he seemed to be desperate for food and warmth. Perhaps the little guy was the runt.
Foster Mom
Sarah Kelly volunteered to foster the forgotten street kitten, dedicated to giving him what the mama cat couldn't. She put the nameless kitten in an incubator to aid in regulating his body temperature. The poor thing was shaking like a leaf.
