South Carolina Shelter Worker Walks In And Catches The Most Precious Moment Between Two Kittens
Colleen is a tiny ray of sunshine with a big personality that instantly lights up the room. Just 13 weeks old, this playful little kitten is currently staying at the Humane Society of York County in South Carolina, where she’s already won over everyone who’s met her.
Colleen approaches life with pure curiosity and happiness, always eager to chase a toy, explore something new, or curl up close for a cuddle. She’s one of those kittens you don’t easily forget.
What makes Colleen even more unique is her look — she doesn’t have a tail and no one knows exactly why.
Maybe it was an accident before she arrived, or maybe she was just born that way. Either way, it doesn’t change a thing, and it hasn’t slowed her down in the slightest.
From the second she bounced into the room, it was clear she’s all heart.
She’s a little whirlwind, zooming around with endless energy, meeting everyone, making friends, and spreading joy wherever she goes.
Colleen isn’t just social; she lives for connection, playtime, and snuggles.
One morning, Vicki, a shelter worker, walked into the cat room expecting the usual chaos of kittens chasing each other. But that day, something stopped her in her tracks.
Instead of the usual ruckus, the room was quiet. Colleen was sitting calmly by the bars of her kennel.
Across from her, in the neighboring kennel, sat another kitten named Pedro Pascal. And he wasn’t playing either. What caught Vicki’s attention and stole her heart was what came next.
The two kittens stretched out their tiny front paws toward each other, touching right between the bars.
Colleen and Pedro were holding paws like it was the most natural, perfect thing in the world.
In a room usually full of noise and chaos, that little moment of peace was pure magic. Vicky shared in an interview:
“They were just sitting there with their hands together. At that moment in time, they weren’t playing. They were both just lying there… It was just so cute, and it looked like they were making a little heart with their hands.”
Even though they weren’t siblings, it was clear they felt safe with each other.
Eventually, Pedro was adopted, leaving Colleen behind. But she didn’t miss a beat. Her heart is way too big to sulk.
She kept being her playful, friendly little self. She was zooming, snuggling, chirping at anyone walking by, and cuddling with other kittens who needed a friend.
Everyone at the shelter knows Colleen is a true gem. She’s been spayed, up to date on her vaccines.
Now, she’s waiting for someone to see her for the loving, playful kitten she is.
Thinking about adopting a kitten? Colleen’s the type who blossoms when she has a friend by her side.
Two kittens mean double the mischief, double the snuggles, and double the heart-melting purrs at night. Vicki summed it up perfectly:
“She’s kind of the best of both worlds for a kitten. She is playful and spry, and she’s silly, but she is a huge cuddle bug.”
Her heart is ready, and she’s ready to share it with you.
