When cat foster mom Rachel Graham first saw Thumbelina, she was taken aback by how tiny and fragile the kitten was.
But Rachel knew instantly that Thumbelina was special. She wasn’t sure if the kitten would survive, but wanted to give her that chance.
Rachel decided to foster Thumbelina and her siblings. At three months old, Thumbelina was still the size of a newborn, although her siblings grew. The sweet girl had trouble walking and Rachel continued to worry that she wouldn’t make it. Still, Rachel gave Thumbelina lots of food, love, and encouragement.
Soon, Thumbelina had begun to grow and could walk and eat on her own. She learns more slowly than most cats, but she’s determined to figure things out.
Thumbelina is now ready for a forever home. Saying “goodbye” will be a bittersweet moment for Rachel, who will miss her but is so proud of how far she has come!
What’s New…
There are so many cruel people in this world and you have done so well with Thumbellina I think you should just keep her. She is safe and alive with you. After raising Ragdoll Cats for 10 years this one acts like a Ragdoll. I started to cry watching this.
She’s beautiful — find the right loving and caring home for her — THANK YOU for being there for her — keep up your great work.
A very special little kitten and lovely story.
Bastards dish out same to the humsns resposible
Like a premature baby! Glad she made it.
I wish this world had a million more Rachels!
I couldn’t give her up. ever. I would love to foster, but, we have 17 now because when I find one, I can’t give it up. the two most recent, are siblings that I sat with at a local feed and garden store to get them adopted together. and now here they are with me. and i’ll never give them up.
You’re my hero! I have 9 atm. Was 11 last year but lost two to age related illnesses. I’m a terrible foster mum coz I just can’t part with them..
That lady has a hart of gold God bless her
I think I would be a foster failure with that little sweetie!!
She is a very special kitty. Keep
