Olivia and her partner were on a trip to Elafonissi, Crete, Greece, when they came across a starving kitten by the side of the road. The kitten was just skin and bones and covered in fleas. He was friendly and chatty with the couple and walked all over their feet. “He let me pick him up as he knew we would help him.”
The kitten didn’t have a home and needed medical attention. The couple couldn’t bear the thought of having him fend for himself, so they took him home with them to heal.
“We rushed him to the veterinarian, and he was wonderfully brave throughout the procedure. He was always by our side and slept on top of us from the start.”
The kitten required antibiotics and special care, but he was a fighter.
“Our cat is a good traveler,” says one pet parent. “There was one time we brought him back to our home in Florida, and he missed us so much that during the whole drive back, he lay on my chest purring. He feared that we would abandon him.”
“He’s never really been a lover; he snuggles up and sleeps. But now, he sleeps with me every night. He purrs, bakes biscuits, and gives me kisses. He’s also grown quite hefty and has gotten larger,” Olivia added.
“We are so grateful that we were able to help this little kitten in need and give him the love he deserves. If you ever come across an animal in need, don’t hesitate to reach out and help if you can,” says Olivia. “You might just make a new friend in the process!”
The kitten they named Simon has indeed become a part of the family. “He is such a blessing in our lives,” Olivia said. “I didn’t think I could love an animal this much.”
Today, the kitten is healthy and happy, and he even has a new best friend – Olivia’s dog! Olivia says she’s glad they were able to help this little kitten in need and give him the love he deserves.
Olivia and her partner gave this little kitten the love and care he needed, and now he’s healthy and happy.
