Kitten Waits Next to a Curb Until Help Arrives, Now Blossoms into Someone’s Little Shadow

A kitten who waited next to a curb until help arrived, has blossomed into someone’s happy little shadow.

Scarlet the kitten@bella.thebmdAbout a month ago, Laila D’Souza, an animal rescuer and founder of the Winston Memorial Foundation, was on her way home from work when she spotted a little ball of fur lying next to a curb.Seeing a lot of traffic just passing by, Laila pulled over and went to investigate. As she got closer, she saw a tiny kitten on the side of the road, frozen in fear. She scooped up the kitten and headed back to her car.The kitten was about four weeks old, and there was no sign of a cat mother or other siblings. Despite being very scared, she was glad to be away from the busy traffic.

She was found lying on the side of the road all alone@rescueforwinston”Luckily my friend stepped up to foster her. The kitten (named Scarlet) was petrified, shivering and refused to eat,” Laila shared with Love Meow.Scarlet was given a quiet space to decompress. For the first couple of days, she would hide in a corner and startle at the slightest sound. “She was absolutely terrified when she first came to me,” Scarlet’s Foster Mom shared with Love Meow.

Scarlet was very scared for the first few days in foster care@rescueforwinston”She just tried to hide anywhere and everywhere to avoid us.”With plenty of food and lots of patience, Scarlet started to entertain the idea of coexisting with people indoors. With each passing day, she felt more at ease around her foster family.

Slowly but surely, she started to come out of her shell@rescueforwinston”It took a couple more days for her to be 100% comfortable. She finally started to run up to us and rub her head on us.”When Scarlet realized that she no longer needed to be afraid, she came out from hiding once and for all and started to play. Her boisterous personality quickly emerged, and she became unstoppable.

Once she realized she was safe, she became a big personality@bella.thebmdScarlet would chase the resident dog Bella and her foster mom everywhere around the house. After getting her playtime in, she would purr up a storm and fall asleep in their arms.Watch Scarlet the kitten and her journey in this video:

Since then, Scarlet has been running around the house with her unbridled energy as if she owned the place.

@bella.thebmd”She is really funny, super energetic and playful. She loves playing with feathers and loves cuddles when it’s dark. All the energy gets drained during the day, so when night comes she’s ready for a lot of love,” Foster Mom told Love Meow.”She loves sitting on our shoulders and being close to our faces.”

Scarlet likes to follow her people everywhere around the house, like their little shadow@bella.thebmdScarlet has grown in size and strength, but some things never change. She enjoys supervising her people and has been her foster mom’s little shadow everywhere she goes.She’s always ready to play and shows so much ferocity when she spots a feather toy. In the near future, Scarlet will be paired up with another foster kitten, so she will have a constant buddy to tumble and snuggle with.

@bella.thebmdNo one knows how Scarlet ended up on the street by herself, but she will never have to worry about food and shelter. Her life will be filled with joy and plenty of cuddles.

Stray Cat Chooses the Right Place for Her Kittens So They Won’t Have to Live Another Day Outside

A stray cat chose the right place for her kittens so they wouldn’t have to live another day outside.

@comrescuemontrealA stray cat showed up in the backyard of a couple’s home. She was just skin and bones and very hungry. When the couple offered a bowl of canned food, she scarfed it down as if she hadn’t eaten for days.From that day on, the cat returned to the same backyard every evening for dinner. “She knew this place would help her survive the tough outdoors,” Chatons Orphelins Montreal shared with Love Meow.”Over the next few days, the couple was able to get closer to her and gain her trust by providing food and water.”

She showed up in a backyard for food and kept coming back@comrescuemontrealThe cat warmed up to the couple and began to allow them to pet her. That’s when they noticed signs of her being a nursing mother.One evening, instead of running off after dinner, the tortie had a different plan. She lead the couple to a place a few streets away from the backyard.

The couple noticed that she had kittens@comrescuemontrealTo their surprise, a few kittens came running out of the bushes when they arrived. The cat felt comfortable and safe around the couple and decided to bring them to her babies.The couple fetched a carrier and took the entire family home that night.

She lead the couple to her kittens one day so their lives could be saved@comrescuemontreal”The cat mama was able to find refuge at the right place to save her little family,” the rescue shared.They lovingly named her Calie and treated her for some stomach issues. Calie started putting on weight with good food and proper care, and was finally able to relax and purr.

Six very happy kittens in the comfort of a loving home@comrescuemontrealCalie was very devoted to raising her babies and catered to their every whim.Watch Calie and her kittens in this cute video:

Once the kittens were big enough to eat on their own, they became more independent and would venture out of their nest to play and zip around with each other.

@comrescuemontrealCalie started having more me-time by the window and with her people. Two of the kittens quickly found their forever home when they were old enough for adoption.Chatons Orphelins Montreal took the rest of the litter and Calie into their care to give them a better chance at finding good homes.

Calie is a wonderful cat mother@comrescuemontreal”Calie is very gentle and social. She loves a good cuddle session and is very affectionate towards people. She loves her new life in the confines of her home, and shows us gratitude every day.”The sweet tortie will rub her face on her humans, soak up the love, and purr loudly for head scritches. She is playing like a kitten again, enjoys being the center of attention, and will never have to raise another litter.

She’s playing like a kitten again and spending more time with her people@comrescuemontreal”Whenever we enter the house, she comes running to greet us. She plays with cat toys and likes to lie on the ground especially in the sun.”The kittens have grown in size and personality. They never run out of mischief and are constantly on the lookout for snuggles.

@comrescuemontrealAfter wandering the streets for most of her life, Calie is reveling in the warmth and comfort of indoor life and can’t wait to find a place of her own for the holidays.
