One day, I was leaving work to go to lunch when I thought I heard a cat meow, but I dismissed it. Later, when I was leaving for the day, I heard it again and decided I had better check it out.
I found two tiny kittens. They were only a day or two old, and their eyes weren’t even open yet. Since I had heard meowing hours earlier, I knew they were in big trouble and that their mother probably wasn’t coming back.
Luckily, my parents know a wonderful woman who is connected with many animal rescuers in our area. She pointed me toward a woman with our local animal rescue who works wonders with bottle-feeding kittens. One of the kittens had been born with deformed legs, and at each feeding, she worked with him to help strengthen them.
My mom had been trying to convince my dad to adopt another kitten for quite some time, and he finally relented. They adopted one of the kittens.
I already had two senior cats, and I thought one more might upset the status quo. But after two months of being up for adoption, the other kitten still hadn’t found a home. I couldn’t take it anymore, so I decided to welcome him into my family.
He has been with me for almost a year now. I named him Champion because I feel like he fought through and overcame quite a few challenges. He still has bow legs, a heart murmur, and an overbite, but he is active and happy.
My senior cats accepted him relatively quickly, with only a little bit of fuss. He loves to play, and my house is constantly littered with cat toys. He is incredibly sweet, loving, charming, and irresistible.
I think I was meant to find those kittens, and they are both exactly where they should be.
I’m so thankful for the wonderful animal lovers and animal rescue in my hometown who made it possible for this story to have such a happy ending.
