A cat with needy kittens was brought in a few weeks ago by animal rights activists from Best Friends Felines.
According to Nikki from Best Friends Felines, “Eleni (the cat) was quite fearful of humans when she first came to us, but it only lasted a couple of days, and she changed into a purr.”
A kind mother freed herself and let her four darling children’s guardians to help. She immediately begins to purr as soon as we pet her. She has a high level of trust.
Around this time, a small four-week-old loner named Flavian came to the animal rights activists, yearning for motherly love.
“He was found all alone and taken to the veterinary clinic,” says Nikki. The veterinarians noted his extreme thinness. Threw a cry for those who want to help the baby. We thought that we should take a kitten only if Eleni accepts him – so, he would have a mother and brothers who are the same age.
Eleni saw the lonely cat the moment they met. She approached him, gave him a couple quick sniffs, then gave him a gentle lick.

Flavian is one week older than Eleni’s kittens, he has the role of an older brother – he leads the whole team by his example. Shortly after he learned to use the litter box and demonstrated it, the rest of the kittens rushed to try it too.
