The little kitten, now known as Snow Tiger, was born to a stray mother and was saved by an animal refuge.
Little did the kitten realize, still fearful of humans, that she’d form a bond with another newcomer – a lamb.
After her mother died, Fifi was rescued from a meat farm and sent to Edgar’s Mission Farm Sanctuary in Victoria, Australia, where she missed her mother deeply. This fortunate turn of events certainly saved Fifi from the infamous “live export” industry in Australia.
Snow Tiger was rescued with her sibling, now called Snow Leopard. Both have taken a liking to Fifi, the new member of their litter, who also happens to be a lamb.
Fifi, on the other hand, feels like he has a place in the world despite his differences from the kittens.
Pam Ahern, the founder of Edgar’s Mission, told The Dodo, “Fifi is just very interested (like all young infants) and likes exploring things, especially kittens.”
And Snow Tiger has risen to the occasion thanks to Fifi’s innocent curiosity. “It’s incredible to see Snow Tiger transform from a scared, spitting, scratching feline to a purring bundle of fur who just wants to cuddle up for affection,” Ahern said.
“We enjoy watching the many species interact here at the sanctuary; their nonjudgmental behavior is something we humans could learn from,” remarked Ahern. “They don’t give a damn about how one looks.”
