Boo the kittenNadija @tiny.paws.fosters
A tiny 5-week-old kitten was found wandering the streets as an orphan all alone. She had an upper respiratory infection, an upset stomach and was very timid.
A good Samaritan spotted the kitten in poor shape and decided to intervene. They managed to bring her to safety and took her to the county shelter for help.
Knowing that the kitten needed round-the-clock care, shelter staff immediately reached out to the rescue community. Nadija, a volunteer of AnimalLuvr’s Dream Rescue, saw a picture of the kitten and knew she had to help.

Despite having her hands full with other fosters, she rushed to the kitten’s rescue, so the little one could start her healing process in the comfort of a foster home.
“Boo (the kitten) was very scared when she first arrived here and very unsure about me and her new space. She was meowing out of fear,” Nadija shared with Love Meow. “She got crusty eyes, nasal discharge, a dirty bum, and she was very hungry.”

Despite being very wary of humans, Boo couldn’t resist the offer of food and slowly warmed up to her foster mom. She began to accept being petted as she realized that people aren’t so bad.
“After some pets, cuddles and a snack, she felt much safer and took a nice nap on her cozy blanket with a heating pad.”

After a few days of nourishing, resting and healing, Boo was all cleaned up, made good gains, and her eyes were clear and bright. Her fur coat became softer and fluffier, and she looked like a new cat.
When Boo was comfortable enough to come out from hiding and fully embrace indoor life, her confidence grew and her endearing personality emerged.
