Georgia Kitten Abandoned After A Storm Discovers An Unlikely Best Friend Behind Glass
An energetic rescue kitten and a laid-back wildlife rescue form an incredible bond that brings out the best in both of them.
An Unexpected Calm
Atlas is known for being a very energetic cat.
She has a wild side, but there is one specific housemate who completely changes her demeanor.
She knows that when Junior comes out, she has to just chill.
If she is too wild, she simply isn’t allowed to be around him, and over time, this rule has completely transformed her.
Junior’s Rough Start
Long before Atlas arrived, Junior came into his owner’s life.
He was brought in from a wildlife education area after facing rejection early on.
Sadly, his own mother didn’t like him very much, leaving him in need of a safe place to land.
His new home provided exactly the comfort and security he had been missing.
Acting Like A Lazy Dog
When Junior was first brought home, he surprised his owner with his personality.
Despite his wildlife background, he acted like a very lazy dog.
He constantly wanted to be either right on his owner or very near to them.
Anytime his owner came around, Junior was always there, ready to offer a sweet, daily greeting.
A Storm Brings A New Face
A couple of years later, the household dynamic shifted again.
A little kitten named Atlas was found abandoned underneath a shed following a really big storm.
She was brought home to be given a second chance, but the trauma of her past left her feeling a little bit shy.
She needed time and patience to realize she was finally safe.
Finding Her Confidence
Having another animal in the house turned out to be exactly what Atlas needed.
It was a gentle way of showing the nervous kitten that everything was okay.
Soon enough, her shy shell began to crack, and her playful spirit emerged.
She started wanting to play and chase, showing off her natural, energetic personality.
Curiosity Through The Glass
As Atlas grew more comfortable, she became fascinated by Junior.
The front of Junior’s habitat is made of glass, and Atlas would always sit right beside it.
In response, Junior would come down and scratch at the glass to acknowledge his feline visitor.
Seeing their mutual curiosity, their owner decided to open the glass so they could safely smell each other.
Slow And Steady Introductions
The introductions between the two different species were done very slowly and carefully.
They were always supervised to ensure everyone remained safe and comfortable.
To their owner’s delight, there was never any aggression between them.
Atlas quickly warmed up to her new companion, realizing he was a gentle friend.
A Genuine Attraction
Before long, the energetic cat and the laid-back wildlife rescue formed a deep bond.
Atlas soon wanted to just sit and rest her paw gently on Junior.
Their owner noted that it was a genuine attraction and a beautiful friendship.
Because they are so opposite in personality, they actually bring out the better side of each other.
The Cleaner And The Bro
Today, Atlas thrives on this unique friendship.
Their dynamic is wonderfully weird, perfectly matching their contrasting personalities.
Atlas has taken on the role of the "cleaner," while Junior is perfectly content being the "whatever bro."
Through patience and a little bit of curiosity, an abandoned kitten and a rejected rescue animal became the very best of friends.
