Woman Wakes Up To Pitiful Meowing – Kitten’s Hiding Place Leaves Her Dumbfounded
If you wake up to the sound of meowing, you’re a cat owner. Right?
But what if you woke up one morning, heard a kitty crying from inside the house, and you didn’t own a cat?
That was the question a groggy woman in Prince Rupert, British Columbia had to ask herself one curious morning: she awoke to the sound of distressed meowing, but she had no cat.
It was small and pitiful, however, and the woman – named Kelli – just had to find the poor creature.
She could hear the meowing pretty plainly at first, so she just assumed the little tyke had somehow found its way into her home and was hiding somewhere.
However, Kelli searched high and low and just couldn’t pinpoint the source of the increasingly pathetic cries.
That’s when Kelli got a brainstorm: she’d go outside and see if she could better hear the meowing.
Yes, in fact, she did hear it better. And that’s because:
“I could hear a kitten crying but couldn’t figure out where it was coming from.
I searched high and low in the house until the cries sounded desperate so I went outside and realized he was under the house.”
That’s right, the crying kitten had crawled under the house and was just begging for help!
The poor tiny thing was all alone in the world and worse, by the time Kelli got to him, he had stopped meowing. In fact, he wasn’t moving at all.
“When I found him, I couldn’t tell if he was alive,” Kelli said.
“I started to feel panicked once I realized that he wasn’t meowing any more. So I brought him straight to the vet.
They said he was less than a week old and had been abandoned by his mother.”
Kelli couldn’t possibly abandon the baby after saving him, so she took on the responsibility of caring for the undernourished kitten.
The little guy was so small and weak at first that Kelli needed to feed him with a syringe, and that involved many sleepless nights.
But she persevered and now, the kitten, who she ultimately named Oscar, is living a healthy, happy life in Kelli’s home!
“Glad the days of waking up every two hours to feed are over… But I surely miss this mini version of him…
He is super spunky, likes to act like the man of the house. But when no one is around he still acts like my baby and cuddles up to me.”
Unbelievably enough, that’s not where Kelli’s story ends.
Because about eight months later, yet another kitten was found under another house in Prince Rupert, and Kelli saw it as a sign.
She quickly adopted the second homeless kitten, and Oscar got himself a new sister: Isabelle!
“They would play together and eventually became snuggle buddies.
Now you can catch them running all around the house together,” Kelli laughs.
What an incredible story!
Oscar and Isabelle won’t ever need to worry about being cold and homeless again, and they’ve grown into two beautiful cats.
Now, Kelli has two adorable pets nobody seemed to want and everyone in the house couldn’t be happier. Thank God for people like Kelli!
