Sam, a grey kitten, and her siblings were brought to Mini Cat Town, an animal rescue in San Jose, California. As orphans, they relied on foster care, with Sam being only four days old and still had her umbilical cord attached.
Laura Malone, the director of Mini Cat Town, welcomed the kittens with open arms, providing round-the-clock care and nourishment. The kittens, although their eyes were still closed, were grateful for the warmth and full bellies.
Laura revealed to Embora Cats that Sam’s preferred location for resting on her back was a cozy corner in her nest.
A few weeks passed, and they observed changes in Sam as she lost weight and her appetite diminished. “Kittens are inherently fragile, and their conditions can change rapidly.”
Sam was under the weather and low on energy, prompting Laura’s husband, known as Foster Dad, to provide assistance.
His primary joy is consoling distressed individuals and animals, and he committed to continually embracing Sam until her well-being was restored, according to Laura’s account to Embora Cats.
Foster Dad tenderly swaddled Sam in a soft blanket, attentively keeping her under his gaze throughout the night. He expressed his love for her, and she peacefully drifted off to sleep in his arms.
Laura mentioned that as she began to behave more like herself, he gladly took credit for fixing her.
Sam’s energy levels were restored after several vet visits, fluid therapy sessions, and a modified diet. This also led to improved eating habits and weight gain.
After Sam’s treatment, she sought comfort on Foster Dad’s shoulders, and he dedicated his time to providing her with the love and encouragement she needed.
Sam could finally rejoin her siblings and scamper around the room as she owned it.

Sam, the most diminutive kitten, possessed an abundance of energy and enthusiasm, especially during social activities with her peers.
As sisters, Sam and Jo developed a strong bond, often seen cuddling during nap time and assisting each other in honing their feline skills.
They enjoyed kneading on a soft blanket together while purring up a storm.
Clearly, the two sisters were inseparable, their playful energy feeding off one another. “These sisters, both goofballs and purr monsters, long for a new home filled with an abundance of pillows to play in!”
Upon the kittens being ready for adoption, Sam and Jo encountered the perfect family, who felt an immediate connection, sharing their joy on Instagram.
“After losing our dear cat, Bootsie, we came across two kittens, Sam and Jo, who were renamed Bear and Bunny. Their remarkable resemblance to Bootsie touched us deeply, and we realized they were meant to become part of our family.”
Growing into a stunning cat, Bear is no longer tiny, and her unchanging bond with her sister, Bunny, continues to flourish since their first day together.
“According to their family, Bear is partial to male humans, which is pretty funny to me,” Laura shared.
