Last year, as fall drew near, Laura, who lives in England with her husband, came across a post in which one of her friends requested assistance in caring for a kitten that was around 5 weeks old. After being rejected by his mother, the little kid needed a place to call home.
It appears that the little kitten was a girl who wandered to a nearby farm. The owner of the location where she was located was unable to care for her, so he requested assistance to provide the small ball of fur the urgent medical care she required.
Laura immediately offered to help. She said:
“She was a farmyard garbage dwarf and was apparently rejected by her mother. She was only five weeks old, covered in fleas and had ulcers on her eyes.
The little kitten was in very bad shape; it was just skin and bones and he had an upper respiratory infection that needed to be treated. Despite all this she was a very sweet and loving girl.
Laura remembers:
“I made an appointment with the vet, picked her up and took her right there. She was much smaller than she expected and she meowed all the way to the vet’.
On her first day at home, the cute cat continued to follow her owners. She attempted to cuddle on her lap in an attempt to get some attention; nevertheless, that night she woke up about midnight begging for food and some attention.
Because Laura required frequent feedings, the first few nights were a little challenging. The pair wanted their new addition to feel well and recuperate.
He immediately flourished due to the attention of his new parents, treatments for his respiratory issue and fleas, healthy food, and plenty of TLC (Time, Love, and Care). In just a few days, her eyes began to clear up, she saw a noticeable weight gain, and she displayed much more energy.
Laura states:
He started eating, drinking, playing, and using the litter box as soon as he got home. He was a celebrity.
From the first moment she saw her, Laura knew she had fallen in love with the little fluff, and was sure she wanted to take her home.
She said:
“My husband, Lewis, agreed that we could come home to her as long as he chose the name: Riley.”
There was nothing that could stop Riley once she gained some strength in her little legs. No toy could evade her tiny claws because she was so nimble. She was becoming more herself; she was inquisitive and naughty.
Within a few weeks of learning how to climb, the little naughty girl was already climbing onto her parents’ bed in quest of some hugs and companionship. Even when her parents had to go to work, the girl volunteered her help.
The challenging beginnings of Riley’s life are long gone. The adorable cat was abandoned by her mother as a kitten before finding the most devoted household possible. She is quite mischievous and always wants to know what people do to him and the other cats in the home.
His mother tells:
“Despite having such a strong will, she makes us laugh so much, and it’s wonderful to see her grow! She enjoys making fun of Fliss, our first rescue cat.
Fortunately, Riley found her forever home and is extremely happy. Laura and her husband are really proud of all that she has accomplished in this time, her little naughty girl.
