Brooklyn Man Follows Odd Sounds To Nearby Basement Then Comes Out With A Tiny Baby In His Arms
A man named Sam was about to get some well-deserved rest after returning from exploring caves, but fate had other plans for him.
He heard strange sounds coming from an abandoned basement near his house that resembled meows. Curious, he rushed to investigate.
Once inside the basement, the cries grew louder and louder, and what he discovered next left him speechless.
Following the cries, Sam found a tiny furball, no bigger than a small loaf of bread. The poor kitten was desperately crying for help. Sam’s friend, Delilah, shared in an interview:
“We think she was born there, and her mom was weaning her, but she was too tiny to figure out how to get out of the basement.”
Unable to turn a blind eye to the tiny kitten in need, and with no sign of the mama cat, Sam gently scooped her up, ready to give her all the help she needed.
Delilah contacted her rescue, Whiskers-a-GoGo in Brooklyn, and with their help, she welcomed the kitten as her 49th foster.
They affectionately named the kitten Umami and began helping her thrive. She said:
“I am grateful to Whiskers-a-Gogo for not hesitating to take on Umami and to Sam for asking me for my help, Umami was fearless and leaned into cuddles immediately.”
Umami quickly settled into her foster home and began showing her true personality, which turned out to be larger than life. Delilah added:
“She’s a very funny and charming cat who enjoys getting into classic goofy kitten hijinks. She loves noisy toys, has a bottomless appetite, and wants to be wherever you are.”
Umami spent her days in the foster home playing and zooming around the room. Most of all, she loved tucking herself into her foster mom’s hoodie to fall asleep.
Sooner than expected, Umami was ready to meet the resident animals. Despite her tiny size, she showed everyone who’s in charge, and her presence always filled the room.
Umami truly blossomed, and this was just the beginning of her happily ever after. With her adventurous yet loving spirit, she continued to explore the world and capture everyone’s hearts. Delilah added:
“At the end of the day, she always loved to stay close to me like a lovely little shadow.”
She gets along with everyone in her foster home, including the resident dog. Delilah said:
“She loves to play with my dog’s ears and tail, and after she left quarantine, she fearlessly has been pouncing on my much older and bigger cat. It’s been about five weeks of non-stop fun with the cutest little girl I have ever seen.”
From being left all alone in an abandoned basement, Umami quickly became a confident little kitten who’s more than ready to see what the future holds.
With her playful and loving personality, I’m sure she’ll soon capture the heart of someone special and have the beautiful life she deserves.
