A compassionate individual came to the aid of a tiny feline who was frantically darting in and out of dense shrubbery, ultimately preserving its existence.
Meet Cole, the Kitty
A few days ago, my friend Sarah Isom got a call from one of her colleagues at Winston Salem State University. Apparently, someone had spotted a stray kitten meowing loudly on the tiled pathway leading to one of the campus buildings. Worried about the little feline, Sarah rushed over to see if she could find him.
But when she arrived, the kitten was nowhere to be found. Undeterred, Sarah searched high and low, scouring every nook and cranny on the premises – including the HVAC area – hoping to locate the kitty. Unfortunately, despite her best efforts, she came up empty-handed.
Just when Sarah thought all hope was lost, something incredible happened. Stay tuned to find out what!
As a homeless cat, he was discovered lying on a tiled pathway. When Sarah realized that the little feline was still missing, she didn’t give up. She decided to continue searching around the premises and suddenly caught sight of something in the shrubs near the structure. Sarah recounted to Love Meow that she spotted a small grey kitten curled up in a sunny spot. “As soon as he noticed me, he let out an extremely loud meow, which I think was one of the loudest I’ve ever heard from a kitten,” she said. The kitty then bolted and took refuge around the corner of the building, about ten feet away from her.
When Sarah tried to approach the kitten, it would run away as if it was playing hide-and-seek with her. This went on until the kitten finally found a hiding spot behind an HVAC unit and then dashed into some bushes. Despite the constant meowing, Sarah could not locate the kitten until she crawled through the bushes on all fours. The kitten then made one final dash into the wheel well of a parked car, but Sarah managed to grab it quickly and hold it close.
As soon as Cole felt safe, he emerged from his shell. Despite being in a secure position, no one came forward to claim the kitten. Sarah took the initiative and contacted Sparkle Cat Rescue for assistance, offering to foster him herself. They affectionately named him Cole and estimated that he was around five weeks old. Cole was very small, weighing barely a pound, and was infested with fleas and grime. However, once he was cleaned up and given the necessary care, he began to feel a lot better.
Cole was extremely famished that he consumed his meal with great gusto and urgency, as though he were famished. “Following his voracious appetite, he purred contentedly, suggesting that he had found a sense of security at last.”
Sarah subsequently realized that the kitten had resorted to consuming leaves and plants in order to survive while living outdoors. “If he had remained outside for any longer, he would have likely perished due to starvation.”
Cole’s personality blossomed as he received love and delicious meals. He gradually became affectionate and enjoyed snuggling with his foster mom. His happy paws kneaded away, and he purred himself to sleep. Recently, Sarah observed an improvement in Cole’s behavior, and she noticed that he had become quite the cuddler, often dozing off in amusing positions.
Cole’s booming voice has never dwindled and he confidently vocalizes his “thoughts” without hesitation. He’s an inquisitive and lively fellow who has taken great pleasure in playing with our resident felines. Cole is also gradually discovering how close he wants to get to our resident canine.
Sarah was in for a challenge during the rescue mission with Cole, but now he is flourishing in his foster home. Each day he grows bigger and more energetic, making the most of his new surroundings. When he tires himself out, he enjoys cuddling up with Sarah to rest. Although Cole loves to play, he also knows how to relax and recharge with a good nap.
Sarah tirelessly searched for the small stray, determined to save its life. Now, Cole relishes the opportunity to be carried around, exploring his surroundings in peace and comfort.
