A cat began meowing loudly in the yard of a Canadian family’s house a few months ago.
The tiny fluffy was really hungry and was hunting for at least anything to put in his mouth, but there was no mother cat or other kittens nearby. The home’s proprietors were unable to abandon the kitten to its fate. They took him up and sought assistance from the neighborhood Chatons Orphelins Montréal animal rights group.
“They brought a cat to us in Montreal after saving it from the streets. For round-the-clock care, we found him a nanny-nurse right away,” explains Celine Krom of Chatons Orphelins Montréal.
The kitten, named Lux, was very shy and very thin. On daily meals, he began to gain weight and made up for the lost sleep in a warm nest.
Lux longed for motherly love and constantly cried when left alone. When the kitten became healthy and grew out of milk feeding, he was introduced to other cats for socialization. One of the relatives, a beautiful tabby cat, took the boy in his paws.
Around the same time that Lux was rescued, animal rights activists Chatons Orphelins Montréal adopted a two-year-old long-haired tabby named Oscar.
“Oscar was found in an abandoned building. For some time he wandered around the area in search of food and shelter. We believe that he once lived there with his family before he was abandoned, ”Celine shares.
Oscar arrived at the rescuers in poor condition. He felt aware enough to eat on his own once more after receiving medicine and meticulous attention. The striped beauty made more strides and eventually recovered completely.
Oscar enjoys interacting with humans and is particularly helpful to kittens in need. The cat seems to know precisely what the kitten required when Lux joined him at the nursing home.
“Lux loves being around cats and wants to be friends with everyone,” says Celine.
When Lux and Oscar met, it was like meeting old friends. The tabby cat took the kitten under his wing, and the two began to hug.
Oscar quickly took on the role of a parent – he began to persistently wash Lux, wrap his paws around him and make sure that the kitten was never left alone.
Oscar showed Lux the house and taught him courage. Following in Oscar’s footsteps, the kitten has learned to climb the cat’s climbing frame and demand people’s attention.
“Lux now four months old gets along very well with Oscar now three years old. They are a wonderful duo, and the ideal option for them would be to go to the same house, ”Celine shares.
The two closest friends love their home lives and share the hope that one day they will be able to have a family of their own.
