Virginia Rescuers Speechless After Saving Two Kittens Of Same Age And Size Just A Day Apart

Stray cats often wander through neighbourhoods in Virginia, but fortunately, many of them cross paths with volunteers who refuse to look the other way. 

These kind-hearted people spend countless hours making sure the cats have full bellies, safe places to rest, and medical care when needed.

One afternoon, while the volunteers were feeding their usual group of community cats, something unexpected stood out. 

Among the adults was a tiny ginger kitten, doing his best to squeeze in for a few bites. His small frame and uncertain movements told them everything they needed to know – he was far too young to fend for himself. 

Without hesitation, they gently scooped him up and took him to a nearby shelter, hoping it would be the start of a much brighter future.

However, they didn’t realize just how frightened he was. The little kitten darted away, trying to hide from the rescuers.

With their experience and patience, the volunteers knew exactly how to coax him out. They placed some delicious food on the ground, and the hungry kitten couldn’t resist. Slowly, he emerged, and after a cautious approach, he filled his tiny tummy.

The volunteers successfully captured the kitten and reached out to Tails High, a rescue organization in Virginia, eager to give him a fresh start. The rescue agreed, and foster volunteer AP Miller was ready to welcome the kitten into her home.

When the kitten arrived at his new foster home, his transformation began. He was incredibly shy but allowed AP to bathe him and give him gentle cuddles. As AP shared in an interview:

“He’s a skeletal little boy at only one pound and two ounces. He’s earned the moniker Jack Skellington.”

The volunteers celebrated their successful rescue, but the next day, while feeding the other cats in the area, another surprise awaited them.

A tiny dilute tortie kitten emerged from the yard, frightened and vulnerable. She had no chance of surviving alone and was quickly rescued. AP Miller warmly welcomed the tortie, naming her Sally. As Miller explained:

“They were rescued from the same colony of cats a day apart, with only a 0.2–ounce weight difference. We feel pretty confident they’re from the same litter.”

Together, Jack and Sally began to show their true personalities as they settled into their new foster home. Miller commented: 

“It took them a few days to feel safe in front of me, but now they know I’m the food lady and the cuddle lady. In the last two days, their appetites have exploded, which is another sign of feeling safe.”

Miller enjoyed watching the two grow, revealing their unique traits.

“Jack is a playful little instigator. He is curious but cautious about new things and is obsessed with his toys. Sally is the supreme snuggler, a bit shy at first, but her walls come down as soon as she starts purring. She’s surprisingly braver than her brother when it comes to the vacuum.”

Thanks to the compassionate volunteers who rescued them and AP Miller for providing a loving foster home, Jack and Sally will never have to face the dangers of the streets again. 

Their happily-ever-after is on the horizon, and they can’t wait to meet their forever families.
