The temperature outside reaches 100 degrees can be deadly for animals. It was the case for a kitten abandoned in a Texas backyard. The kitten’s mother and siblings were not with him, and he was dying from the heat. Thankfully, she was taken to a shelter where she received around-the-clock care. And then, one day, a woman came and took her home in her pocket!
The kitten, who was only a couple of weeks old, needed to be bottle-fed. When she arrived at the shelter, she was full of sass and had a fierce attitude. “She was a little confused by all the new people and smells, so she was hissing and spitting the first day,” said one of the shelter workers.
But the kitten quickly warmed up to her new surroundings and soon found a forever home. When a woman, Haley, once saw this kitten, she couldn’t pass by. She put the kitten in her pocket; she felt calm and didn’t meow. It was clear that she knew she was safe.
Haley named the kitten Lavender and made it her life’s mission to provide her with care. She takes the cat to work so she may keep up with her busy feeding schedule and keeps Lavender around to ensure that she is cherished.
“Now, whenever she hears my voice, she perks up and comes closer to me,” Haley said. “She puffs up all her fur and scratches enthusiastically for the bottle.”
She wiggles her ears when she eats and grabs her bottle like a professional. With her foster mom by her side, Lavender becomes interested.
“She is a cute kitten that always pays attention to me and is interested in everything around her.”
Lavender gains not only weight but also Fluffiness. She is expected to be a fluffy gray kitty with ear tufts.
It is a heartwarming story of how one kitten was saved from the heatwave. Animals can’t take care of themselves, so it’s essential to ensure they have a safe place to go when the temperature is too high. Thanks to the shelter workers and the woman who took the kitten home, this little one got a second chance at life.
