An adorable cat who was abandoned on a doorstep with her tiny kitten with nothing but a plate of tortilla chips to eat has finally found a loving forever home.
When an unsuspecting member of the public found the feline duo dumped by her door, she alerted The Mayhew Animal Home, who took the cats into its care.
Soon after, Stella, the five-month-old kitten, recuperated and was adopted. Unfortunately, the trauma Linda, Stella’s mother, suffered left her very nervous and jumpy, and she needed extra love before being ready for a permanent guardian.
Linda, who was skittish when she arrived at the rescue center and shied away from anyone who tried to get close to her, found a dedicated foster family to help her get accustomed to humans and recover in a calm home environment.
“It took Linda a good few months to really settle in with us,” explained foster caretaker Alissa Johnson. “Even the smallest, sudden noises would worry or scare her, so we were careful to be patient and understanding. Once she realized she could trust us, Linda began to show us more of her adorable, sweet personality.”
After more than a year of careful rehabilitation, Linda has been placed with a new forever family. She also has a new name: Minnie.
When the adoption finally happened, it was a sad and happy moment for Johnson.
“When you sign up to foster, you know it’s going to be hard when the time comes to say goodbye,” she said. “Though there were many times when we were tempted to sign the adoption papers ourselves, we knew Linda’s perfect match was out there, and we wanted to give her the chance to live the brand new life she really deserves. I know she is going to be so happy – but we’ll never forget her.”
Wishing her all the love in the world.
It’s about time!!
Thus is very very sad . My, heart goes out to,these poor animal’s.
Evil demonic savages must be fed to lions sharks or crocs. NO prison…we taxpayers NOT paying for their upkeep there. Get rid of these evil barbarians.
I want to know why they changed her name. I like Linda!!!! Ha ha
I had a beautiful calico like her, my baby’s name was Dandy Lion.
Thanku to all tbose involved in the rescue and rehoming of these adorable kitties 🐱🐈🐾
Agree.
Une histoire qui finit bien grâce à des gens formidables comme il en existe beaucoup, bien que la vermine a tendance à trop se reproduire et les actes de maltraitance avec!!!
Thanks be to GOD, this precious little sweetheart and her kitten were rescued. God Bless these wonderful people who rescued them. These kitties will bring LOVE and joy to their Forever Home. And be cherished and loved in return.
What horrible things people do to animals to leave them traumatized like this is truly heartbreaking. Happy for the cat that found a true loving guardian.
I hope Minnie’s forever family understands that she’ll probably be a bit skittish, having a third home in a short time.
I’m certain they’ll be a fine family. Mayhew Animal Home and Alissa did a great job <3
I say this from experience. We adopted an abandoned cat that took quite a while to come around in her foster home. When we took her home, it was like starting from square one. It took Dusty almost five months to trust us. But it was worth every minute. Once she opened up, she turned into the biggest snuggle-bug ever. Adoption is forever <3
I love rescue stories that have happy endings <3 Does my heart good
A person who was vapid enough to think that cats eat tortilla chips had at least enough IQ to leave them on a caring person’s doorstep. Good ending to the story!
It’s nice to hear good stories like this one. Both kitties deserve a great life, free of pain and suffering.
So glad mum and kitten have found good homes
Just wish all animals could find a safe and loving home.
I am glad Minnie (Linda) has a wonderful loving home.
At least the person who left her and her kitten on the doorstep didn’t hurt or kill them like we hear about so many times.
Thank you all.
