The little kitten, now known as Snow Tiger, was saved by an animal shelter after being born to a stray mother.
The kitten, who was still aggressive and distrustful of humans, had no idea that she would develop a friendship with a lamb, another newcomer.
Fifi was rescued from a meat farm after her mother died, and came to Edgar’s Mission Farm Sanctuary in Victoria, Australia, missing her mom terribly. This twist of fate likely saved Fifi from Australia’s controversial “live export” industry.
Together with her sister, who is now known as Snow Leopard, Snow Tiger was saved. Fifi, the newest lamb in their litter who also happens to be a lamb, has won over both of their hearts.
But being a little different from the kittens doesn’t stop Fifi from feeling like he has a place in the world.
“Fifi is just so curious (like all little babies) and loves exploring things, especially kittens,” Pam Ahern, the founder of Edgar’s Mission, told The Dodo.
And Fifi’s innocent curiosity has brought out the best in Snow Tiger. “It is amazing to witness the turn around of Snow Tiger from frightened, spitting and scratching kitty, to purring bundle of fur who just wants to cuddle up for love,” Ahern said.
We enjoy seeing the many animals interact here at the sanctuary because of their nonjudgmental behavior, according to Ahern. “How one appears is never a concern.”
