Milena, residing in Montreal, Canada, stumbled upon an online plea for help concerning an orange kitten in dire need. Without hesitation, she rushed to the rescue, ensuring the safety of the 2-month-old feline.
Upon arrival, it was evident that the kitten, named Angie, was in a pitiful state—skin and bones, extremely shy, with her head down, ears flattened, and avoiding eye contact. Milena promptly took Angie to the vet, and the local rescue, Chatons Orphelins Montréal, was alerted to the situation.
Chatons Orphelins Montréal recounted, “We named the kitten Angie and took her into our care. She was covered in fleas and ear mites, and was underweight and dehydrated.” The dedicated team at the rescue wasted no time in administering fluids and assisting Angie in eating, using a syringe to feed her a mixture of kitten milk and pâté.
As Angie’s frail body began to heal, Marion, a compassionate volunteer, took her into her foster home. Despite the progress, Angie faced challenges in eating and gaining weight. Her foster mom, ever-watchful, trailed her around the house, ensuring she never missed a meal.
Diagnosed with anemia and a bacterial infection, Angie embarked on a journey to recovery with the aid of antibiotics and an abundance of love. Post-meals, she would snuggle with her foster mom in a purrito, purring herself to sleep.
The rescue revealed, “She is finally able to eat on her own, and is active and feels a lot better. She wouldn’t have survived if her health issues hadn’t been detected in time.”
Once Angie experienced the warmth of affection, there was no turning back. She transformed from a timid, frail kitten into a vocal, affectionate girl, constantly seeking hugs and attention. The once-shy feline now plays like any other kitten her age, thanks to the dedicated care provided by her foster mom.
In just a matter of weeks, Angie, the initially reserved kitten, underwent a remarkable 180-degree transformation, blossoming into a delightful little love-bug under the watchful care of her newfound family.
