When it was a singleton, a little ginger kitten in poor condition entered an animal shelter.
He had a serious upper respiratory illness and was flea-covered (URI). He needed intensive care because he was so weak and could not open his eyes.
Taryn, a volunteer foster parent with Newborn Kitten Rescue (in Arizona), offered her assistance. In order for the tabby to begin recovering in the comfort of a home, she picked him up from the shelter.
Even though he was really ill, Taryn told Love Meow, “He was a unicorn baby, using the litter box correctly and eating on his own, both on the first tries.”
The kitten was given the adoring name Mookie. Following a thorough cleaning and eye treatment, Mookie settled into his new bed, cuddled up close to his pretend mother (a cuddly doll with a heartbeat), and dozed off with a full stomach.
Medication, nebulizer therapy, and plenty of affection helped Mookie perk up and begin to thrive.
