Kittens are so glad to have good food and a cozy place after being found in a box outside a store.

In early April, Nadija, a foster volunteer of AnimalLuvr’s Dream Rescue (in Florida), was informed about a pair of kittens that had been located in front of a feed store. “They were found in a box labeled as ‘FREE.’ The person who found them reached out for help,” Nadija told Love Meow.

The kittens were around three weeks old, crawling with fleas. They were placed into a foster home with Nadija, so they could be cared for and have a comfortable environment to nestle in.

“They were extremely hungry and crying so loudly when they arrived, but I quickly got them fed and warm before they snuggled up to catch up on some much-needed sleep.”

The first 24 hours are usually the most challenging for orphaned kittens, as they are hungry and not used to bottle feedings or kitten milk replacement. “Thankfully, both of them started to latch to the bottle after only a few feedings.”

The kittens were so pleased to be clean and free of those pesky fleas at last. They began kneading on their blankets and even let out their micro purrs.

The two egged each other on as they scarfed down the food from the bottle. They rolled around on their clean, soft bed sheets after each meal, and curled up into a cuddle puddle before falling asleep together.

Despite being just pint-sized, there was so much feistiness packed into those tiny bodies.

A few days into foster care, the kittens came down with some health issues. Luckily, they were able to receive the best care around the clock and plenty of TLC.

The feline sisters regained appetite and quickly bounced back on their paws. After a rough start in life, they could finally relax in their comfy kitty suite and enjoy their new chapter together.
