A man who was allergic to cats stumbled upon a little kitten all by itself on the street. He knew he couldn’t leave the little thing there, but he couldn’t take it home either.
So, he took it to a pet groomer named Kēnya for help.
“He asked if I knew anywhere he could take a kitten that he found,” Kēnya told Love Meow.
Kēnya set up a place for the kitty in her shop and began making calls and searching online to see if anyone was missing a cat.
She even drove around the area where the man found him to see if there were any missing cat posters for him.
But no one came forward to claim the kitten, and he didn’t have a collar or a microchip. So Kēnya took him home that night, thinking they would take him to a rescue group the next day.
But the little feline had a different plan in mind. The ginger kitty loved everyone in the house, including the resident puppy and a cat named Baby Cat.
“Everyone fell in love with him, but the sweetest love for him came from our puppy named Edward,” said Kēnya.
The kitten snuggled up to puppy Edward and nuzzled him. It was love at first sight. “They acted like they were long lost brothers and immediately started playing and snuggling and just wanted to be around each other all the time,” Kēnya shared.
Even the older cat in the house, who had never been a fan of kittens, took a liking to the newcomer.
Perhaps it was because they had similar markings on their coats, but he took on the role of big brother and cared for him like his own family.
Weeks passed, but no one came forward to claim the kitten. By now, the family had grown attached to Popsicle and didn’t want to give him up.
So Kēnya’s daughter named the kitten Popsicle, and he became a permanent part of their family. “Perhaps the kitten knew already that he had found his forever home the moment he walked through their door,” Kēnya mused.
In the end, Popsicle found the love and care he needed with his new family, even if it wasn’t what anyone had planned.
