Caring for stray cats and others in need is still possible thanks to compassionate humans who refuse to turn a blind eye to them. Take this couple for example.
Dessy and her husband are an amazing foster duo. They opened up their home for numerous cats and kittens in need.
But, today’s tale is about a tiny kitten named Lakomka. She was lying next to her mom’s poisoned body when Dessy found her. Poor momma cat was breathing her last breath.
Lakomka had a brother as well, a tiny ginger fellow. Dessy, unable to save their mom, took the two kittens home. She was determined to help them and give them a chance at life.
However, Lakomka’s brother was severely sick. He had trouble eating and had what seemed to be an infection on his belly. Even a vet visit couldn’t help him much.
Dessy did her best, she was regularly feeding him and making sure his infection didn’t get worse. Sadly, despite all the efforts, the tiny kitten didn’t survive.
From that moment, Lakomka was completely alone. She only had her foster parents by her side.
Dessy was now completely focused on helping this poor kitten survive. She regularly fed her with kitten formula and made sure her weight was catching up. But what happened next was beyond heartwarming.
Dessy and Lakomka created a very special bond, and the two never left each other’s side.
With Dessy’s help, Lakomka was now past her critical stage. She finally started playing around, jumping, and climbing, transforming into a happy and healthy little feline.
However, one thing made her different from other kittens. She couldn’t understand the purpose of humans touching her. Every time Dessy tried to cuddle her, Lakomka would attack her hands as if they were a huge monster.
Believe it or not, that hasn’t changed even once she grew up. Of course, she knows how to enjoy some cuddles, but hands remain her number one enemy!
Dessy initially planned putting Lakomka up for adoption, but after spending months caring for her, she changed her mind.
The two formed and incredible bond that they couldn’t bear being apart, so Dessy didn’t put her up for adoption.
Instead, she decided to officially adopt Lakomka and provide her with a loving forever home. Now, she thrives in her life and enjoys the big backyard where Dessy regularly plays with her. Such a happy cat!
From losing her momma and brother to becoming a fat happy house cat, Lakomka sure had to fight for it. All of that was only possible with the love and care of her foster parents, as they said in their video:
“We know she loves us and we love her too.”
I am super happy this story had a happy outcome and thankful that there are still people who dedicate their lives to helping cats in need. Lakomka can now spend the rest of her life in a loving home with many other cat siblings!
