Two Tiny Kittens Found Abandoned In A Box In Los Angeles Fight to Survive At Just 3 Weeks Old
Every day, countless cats and kittens are abandoned, and it’s easy to lose faith in people sometimes.
But then stories like this one come along, stories that show there are still kind hearts out there willing to help.
This is the story of two baby kittens, Binx and Salem, one a little ginger boy, the other a flame point beauty, who started life in the hardest way imaginable.
At just three weeks old, they were left alone in a cardboard box behind someone’s home in Los Angeles.
Cold, scared, and far too young to survive on their own, the tiny pair clung to each other, not knowing what would come next.
Thankfully, the homeowner who found them had a big heart. The moment they realized the kittens were abandoned, they reached out to the local rescuers for help.
Caroline Grace from Baby Kitten Rescue jumped into action the moment she heard about them. She quickly contacted one of her trusted fosterers, Jessica, who didn’t hesitate for a second before saying yes.
When Jessica met the kittens for the first time, her heart melted. They were covered in fleas, weak, and clearly exhausted.
She gave them warm baths, wrapped them up in blankets, and fed them until their little bellies were full. From that moment on, she was determined to make sure they never felt abandoned again.
With time and care, the kittens began to recover. They grew stronger, started exploring their new world, and showered Jessica with affection.
It didn’t take long for their sweet personalities to shine through. They were curious, playful, and full of life. And through it all, one thing never changed: their bond.
Binx and Salem were inseparable. Whether they were napping, eating, or tumbling over each other in play, they always stayed side by side.
It was clear they’d been each other’s comfort through the worst days, and now they were discovering happiness together, too.
But just when everything seemed perfect, Jessica noticed something unusual about Binx’s back legs. They were spread out to the sides, a condition called swimmer syndrome, which makes it hard for kittens to walk normally.
Jessica immediately began physical therapy to help him build strength and coordination. Every day, she worked with him, cheering him on through each tiny step.
And every time Binx struggled, Salem was right there beside him, like a loyal little coach. Weeks later, all that hard work paid off. Binx’s legs straightened, and soon he was running, jumping, and playing just like his sister.
As the kittens grew, they moved to another foster home with a kind woman named Jayne. She instantly fell in love with them and couldn’t help but notice how close they were.
Not long after they were put up for adoption, a wonderful family reached out. They had recently lost their two senior cats and were looking to open their hearts again, not to one cat, but to a pair that needed each other.
When they met Binx and Salem, they knew it was fate. Watching the kittens snuggle together, the family realized they had found exactly what they were missing. They adopted them both and gave them new names: Juni and Olly.
Today, Juni and Olly are living their best lives in a warm, loving home. They nap in sunny windows, chase toys together, and remind everyone around them how strong love and a little kindness can be.
