Let me tell you about a heartwarming encounter between a stray kitten and a young cat whisperer. It’s a story that’ll surely bring a smile to your face.
So, last month, Jen Mack, the founder of Kitkat Playroom, received a message about a stray kitten found all alone outside an elementary school. The person who found the little furball was there to pick up her 6-year-old daughter, Addie, when they noticed the kitten in distress, running towards the school buses.
Naturally, they didn’t want the kitten to get hurt, so they rushed to rescue him. However, there was a small problem – they didn’t have a carrier to transport the kitten. In a moment of uncertainty, they decided to call Jen for guidance.
Now, here comes the heartwarming part. Addie, the 6-year-old daughter, saw the scared little kitten and knew she had to make him feel safe. She gently picked him up and cradled him in her arms while her mother was on the phone with Jen.
The amazing thing? The kitten instantly relaxed, and his purring engine started running. It was as if he knew he was finally safe and in good hands. During the car ride to the rescue, Addie continued to comfort the kitten with soothing words, assuring him that he was safe.
Even though Addie’s family already had dogs at home (who weren’t exactly cat-friendly), she still showed the kitten boundless kindness and warmth. This young cat lover even had a special name picked out for him – Bubblegum.
Later that evening, Addie and her mother went back to the school to search for a mother cat or other kittens but didn’t find any. The mystery of how Bubblegum ended up alone remains unsolved, but one thing’s for sure – he’ll never have to worry about food and shelter again.
Bubblegum was a bit malnourished when he was found, but with proper care, he began to heal. He received treatment for an upper respiratory infection and pesky fleas. In just one week, this little guy gained a whole pound, regained his energy, and boosted his confidence.
Now, Bubblegum happily plays and sleeps with his older kitty foster siblings. He’s become the most sociable, cuddly kitten you can imagine. At 10 weeks old, he’s ready for a forever home where he can purr his way into someone’s heart 24/7.
Thanks to Addie and her mother, Bubblegum has discovered his love for snuggles and affection. They’ve truly made a difference in this little kitten’s life. What a heartwarming tale of kindness and compassion!
