In Toronto, Canada, earlier this year, a kind guy heard what sounded like a cat sobbing and was unable to ignore it. Following the sound, he arrived at a dumpster and discovered a strange plastic bag.
When he opened it, he was astounded to see not just one kitten inside, but a whole litter that was cuddled up together for warmth. The infant in black and white cried out for his mother at the top of his lungs.
The kind dad rushed to deliver the kittens to his daughter. The babies were cared for all night long by a young woman and her companion. They visited the Toronto Humane Society the following day.
“If it wasn’t for the crying of the black and white, they might never have been found,” says volunteer guardian Tanya .
With the help of many volunteers, the black-and-white Charlie and the tortoiseshell Nova and Suarez survived the ordeal and went on the mend. Their eyes opened in the second week, and, having grown strong enough, the kittens set their paws in motion and crawled.
“The kittens were very young, so they quickly got used to people and became very friendly. I’m sure they immediately understood that they would be taken care of,” Tanya says.
“I took them in at three weeks old to keep them until they were old enough to be spayed, neutered and then adopted.”
They enjoyed playing together and cuddling with me. Healthy, happy, and cute tiny purrs.
Young ladies who came across the daughter and her companion never forgot about the kittens and kept up with them on social media. Newborn infants changed into amiable, loving, and mischievous pets almost immediately.
The kittens quickly learned that warm human knees were meant to be sat on. They often curled up comfortably on Tanya’s knees all together, intertwining their paws and purring in unison.
“Suarez loves to come over after meals and look into my eyes while I comb her shiny fur. Then she burps, hums a little and falls asleep, all within a few centimeters of my face.”
Nova was quiet, but she liked to be held by Mama. Charlie was loving all the time and Mom’s attention was always not enough for him.
When the trinity grew up enough, owners were quickly found for all of them.
Suarez hastened to pick up a wonderful family, the owners of the ginger cat Leo – the new brother of Suarez.
The two became close friends, with a little hiss at first. Leo is persistent when it comes to long washes of his new sister throughout the day.
On the second day of the rescue, the two young ladies who had cared for the kittens on the previous day returned with them. So that later brother and sister might see each other and play together, one picked Charlie for herself while the other took Nova.
In the new home, Nova also has an elder brother named Milo, whom she spends a lot of time cuddling with on the cat’s climbing apparatus. Charlie did, in fact, have a right to rule his realm.
Charlie and Nova often see each other, and Milo likes Charlie’s company, he fell in love with him just like Nova.
The kittens have grown noticeably. Like Nova, like Suarez, they keep their eyes on their striped older brothers and don’t let them get bored.
Loving Charlie continues to hug, filling all the warm knees he can find.
