A domestic feline assumed the role of a parent for a deserted kitten and remained by its side without fail.
Earlier this month, Amy received a call from her neighbor seeking help for an abandoned kitten. Since she had previously rescued a kitten, her neighbors knew that she could offer assistance. Amy picked up the orange tabby and started to provide him with warmth through a heating pad and a bottle. When Amy had to leave town, her friend Melissa offered to foster the kitten. Little did Melissa know that she was about to welcome Kurt with the warmest reception at home.
According to Melissa, the cute little kitten weighed only seven ounces when they first adopted him. He appeared dehydrated and his ears hadn’t fully developed. As a result, he relied entirely on them for his care. However, after receiving some kitten formula the next day, he started to show signs of improvement and looked much healthier.
As soon as Quinn, the household cat, detected the presence of the new kitten, he became very inquisitive and excited to make acquaintance. On the other hand, Kurt, who was living alone, was longing for a perpetual buddy. The family took great care to introduce the kitten to Quinn, and the outcome was quite remarkable. Initially, Quinn sniffed around Kurt and encircled his carrier. Gradually, he took on the responsibility of guarding the carrier by sitting in front of it.
The domestic feline mind was curious about the presence of a new member in the house. He used his paw to rotate the carrier to get a better glimpse at the little kitten. Once freed from the carrier, the two cats started bonding instantly. The senior cat, Quinn, even gave the kitten a thorough wash. However, Quinn’s excitement was overwhelming, and he kept trying to climb on top of the carrier, so Kurt had to be relocated to a more secure location.
In no time, the adorable orange tabby found a cozy spot next to Quinn who lovingly held him in his arms. It didn’t take long for Kurt to completely surrender to Quinn’s warmth and fall asleep. Quinn has a natural affinity for caring for kittens, and when Melissa brought home a little rescue kitty, Quinn was quick to offer a helping hand.
Without fail, Kurt meows relentlessly until we grant him access to the kittens. Once inside, he becomes their vigilant guardian, keeping a watchful eye over them at all times. He stands by their box, showering them with affectionate licks and sitting beside them to provide warmth. And now, even with Quinn taking charge of parenting duties, Kurt still receives the same level of care and attention, with Quinn grooming him and monitoring his every action.
Melissa from Love Meow shared that Kurt has a special affection for his foster brother, often snuggling next to him and attempting to nurse. In moments when Quinn is out of sight, Kurt will search the room for him and meow at Melissa. Despite their obvious differences in size and age, the two have formed an incredible bond and spend most of their days together.
Whenever Kurt is around Quinn, he feels secure and protected. Meanwhile, Quinn takes on the role of a guardian towards Kurt. Even when the kitten is in a different room, Quinn voluntarily sits in a box to keep it warm until Kurt returns. To prevent the little one from straying too far away, Quinn puts his paw on him.
At times, when I let Kurt out of his enclosure to roam around, I return to find Quinn has gently placed him back in for a nap.
