Kiara is a dog walker who lives and works in Orlando, Florida. In early 2019, she was out on one of her typical walks when a tiny, dirty creature approached her.

When the animal got closer, Kiara realized it was a stray kitten.

The poor kitten meowed as loud as she could as she walked up to Kiara—she wanted to make sure Kiara noticed her. The kitten was covered in oil and grease, and she also had fleas. It was clear that the kitten had been on her own her whole life.

Kiara asked around and learned that the kitten had been roaming around the neighborhood for months. Many people had walked by her as she meowed, but no one had taken her home with them.

Kiara held the kitten, and the little cat purred. It was clear that she had already chosen Kiara, and so, Kiara decided to take her home! She named her Hope.

Kiara called her boyfriend Chris and told him about their new pet. Thankfully, he was excited to welcome the kitten into her home. After Kiara finished her dog-walking shift, she and Chris headed over to the pet store to pick up supplies for the kitten. Once they got home, they gave her a bath. The water turned rusty red with all the dirt and grime on Hope.

After that, Kiara fed Hope and then carried her to her new bed. The little kitten purred in joy as she settled in to sleep. It was the first bed she had ever had.

The next day, Kiara brought Hope to the vet, where she learned she was very underweight. Other than that, though, she didn’t have any other health issues. Kiara brought Hope home and gave her plenty of food to help her gain weight.

Hope is now five-and-a-half months old, and she’s doing great! She has gained weight, and her fur is beautiful and shiny.

Kiara shares photos of Hope growing up on her Instagram page. These photos show all the fun things Hope and Kiara do together, including going on road trips.
