Kind individuals sitting at home two and a half months ago heard what sounded like a cat whimpering outdoors and went outside to investigate. A lone cat the size of a finger was lying on the street, much to their surprise.
They waited all night for the mother cat to return with her baby, but she never did. The black-and-white infant was only a day old at the time, and he didn’t have access to ordinary feeding… People called for assistance, and Caroline Grace of Saving One Life, an overexposure volunteer, stepped in.
“He was extremely little and chilly when I took him up, but he had a mischievous and fiery attitude from the start,” Caroline explains.
Caroline affectionately named this miracle Theodore. He had problems with nutrition – at first he could not swallow formula milk. Caroline fed him through a tube every couple of hours, which brought the little organism back to life.
The next day, Theo cheered up, with newfound strength, he firmly grabbed the nipple and began to eat so that it crackled behind his ears. He called his adoptive mother to shout and always thought that food delivery could work faster.
Caroline explains, “As soon as I opened the incubator door, he started shouting at me, and so on until I filled his mouth with a bottle.” “At only 87 grams in weight, he quickly became the strongest and most insatiable little kitten I’d ever seen.”
Theo learned to purr at the age of three days and did so anytime he was stroked. Even though he was still the size of a baby, he already struggled and sought affection.
“Every time I picked him up, he immediately began to purr. And the same thing is happening today, when he is two and a half months old! He purrs when you touch him, loves to be picked up, and he could nuzzle you in the crook of your neck with a loud purr, ”says Caroline.
Theo was very active, even before his eyes were open. After each feeding, he crawled around the incubator, developing limbs for the coming sleep.
It’s incredible how much power is packed into such a small crumb! The kitten asked to be rocked and held like a kid after being fed, and he purred like a tractor in return.
“Each kitten develops at a different rate, and there are kittens like Theo who, for various reasons, slow down before crossing a specific threshold. He’s basically a great kid who came late to the party.”
Moved to a superior room with a spacious playpen, he plunged into research, ran around his new possessions and examined every centimeter.
Becoming more playful and inquisitive, Theo also grew up and learned to better control his body. He was indescribably delighted when he first saw the tunnel – he ran through it as fast as he could, and rolled it, jumping onto the walls.
“Theo has an evident enthusiasm for life. He enjoys chasing toys, racing through the tunnel, and scaling the cat’s climbing structure. “However, he enjoys hugging and being around people the most,” Caroline explains.
“When you arrive home, he’s the first one to greet you at the door. He leaps into your arms and kisses you on the nose right now.
“He’s the goofiest, kindest, most loving person I’ve ever met, and his tuxedo has a barely discernible stripe… “He’s a special kid who will make his future owners happy and provide them with limitless entertainment,” Caroline says.
Because nothing can substitute intimate human connection, a delighted young cat leaps from a warm bed like a bullet to get into a person’s lap. His purr is unmistakable, and he has the nicest personality on the planet.
“I found Theo as a newborn lump. Caroline adds, “I adore him with all my heart and I’m proud of how far he’s come.” “Whoever embraces this embodied elegance will be surrounded by laughter, hugs, and purrs for the rest of his life.”
