When a man named Alan heard about a 30-day-old kitten that was abandoned by her mom, he knew he had to help her.

The kitten was the runt of her large litter, and sadly her mom rejected her because of that. The cat’s owner, a student Alan knew, needed someone to take in the little kitten, and Alan stepped up to the plate.

Alan was a big Imgur user, and so he decided to share photos of his life with the little kitten on his page. On his first day with the cat, he shared a few sweet photos of the kitten settling into life with him. He also revealed that he had named the cat Sansa after the red-haired, blue-eyed Game of Thrones character.

Alan also shared an adorable photo of the kitten enjoying her first meal at his house: a plate of scrambled eggs.

While many Imgur users thought Alan’s photos were cute, some had questions for him.

One user said Sansa looked too young for scrambled eggs. Alan explained that he had gotten the cat unexpectedly and didn’t supplies ready. As soon as she was settled into the house, Alan went out and get her cat formula and the food she needed.

As Alan realized everything he had to do to care for this little cat, he started feeling overwhelmed. Thankfully, the Imgur community was there to help him. One Imgur user told Alan about a good website full of information for new cat owners. Someone else advised him about what types of food to give the kitten.

But the most important question was, was Sansa happy with Alan? And the answer was a resounding yes! Sansa loved cuddling with her new dad. She also enjoyed sitting on his feet—while Alan found this cute, it did make it a bit hard for him to move around.

As the weeks went on, Alan got more comfortable in his role as a cat dad. He gave Sansa her first bath, and after, she lay on Alan’s lap contentedly.

Sansa grew very quickly from a runt into a happy young cat. Sansa’s fur grew softer until she started to more closely resemble the regal Game of Thrones character she was named after. Alan was also surprised to see that her eyes changed colors from bright blue to yellow-green. He later learned that this is common—cats’ eyes often change colors when they start producing melanin.

Now, Sansa is six months old and happy as can be. Alan takes great care of her, and he still regularly shares updates about her life on his Imgur page.
