Tiny Kitten’s Miraculous Journey from Helpless to Heart-Meltingly Happy

From Helpless Beginnings

A kitten was left in desperate need of help at just a few days old. Now, she boasts a smokey coat and the most smiley face you’ll ever see. Bertie, who was just days old when rescued, weighed a mere 70 grams and needed constant care.

Thanks to the dedication of Ellen Carozza and Kimberly, a foster volunteer, Bertie received round-the-clock feedings and care. “She needed to be tube-fed for a few days before she could even suckle from a bottle,” Kimberly shared.

Bertie showed her feisty spirit early on, spending almost two weeks in an incubator. Once she gained strength, she eagerly awaited her bottle at the incubator window every two hours, becoming very vocal at mealtime.

As Bertie grew stronger, she discovered her purr and turned it up on high. She toddled around like a tiny explorer, determined not to miss out on any action in her nursery.

Finding Her Place

Bertie’s curiosity led her to notice other kittens and she was determined to join in. She clambered to the summit of her fish bed, overlooking the room with her big, expressive eyes.

Once weaned, Bertie tackled the litter box like a pro and befriended the bigger cats, zooming around with them. Her coat developed into a stunning smoke pattern, growing fluffier each day.

“Bertie has a smoke coat, which is when the tips of the hair are black, and the roots are silver or gray,” her foster mom explained. This unique coat added to her charm.

Bertie became a fixture in the household, even earning the title of “bathtub lifeguard.” She would perch on the side of the tub, rallying the other cats to join in the fun.

Winning Hearts

Bertie’s affectionate nature shone through. She loved to be held or sit in a lap, and her playful antics with another foster kitten, Frankie Bangs, were a constant source of delight.

Her happy purrs and charming smile never faded, making her a favorite among everyone she met. When it was time for Bertie to move on, she quickly found a wonderful family ready to spoil her.

Last weekend, Bertie moved in with her new mom. She curled up in her arms, placing her little paw on her hand as if to say, “You are the chosen one.”

A Happy Ending

Bertie’s journey from a helpless kitten to a beloved pet is a testament to the power of love and care. Her story is a reminder of the incredible impact that dedicated rescuers and foster parents can have.

With her stunning smokey coat and perpetual smile, Bertie has found her forever home. Her new family is overjoyed to have her, and she continues to bring happiness wherever she goes.

As Bertie settles into her new home, her journey serves as an inspiration. Her story is a beautiful example of how love and determination can turn even the smallest, most vulnerable creatures into thriving, happy beings.
