Baby was just a tiny, abandoned kitten when she was discovered by a compassionate human dad.

He found her in his backyard, hiding in a hole under the fence.

“Found this little one in my backyard in a hole under the fence,” he shared. “She was the runt and the mom abandoned her after moving the litter.”

Upon hearing Baby’s plaintive meows, he didn’t hesitate to dismantle his rock wall to rescue her.

From that moment on, he dedicated himself to providing round-the-clock care for the little furball.

“I woke up/came home every 2.5 hours to bottle feed and warm her bed.”

His dedication and love for Baby were unwavering, and he was there for her every step of the way.
