Newborn Kitten Surrendered To Massachusetts Shelter For A Devastating Reason

Not every beginning is beautiful. Some are harsh, and this tiny kitten knows that best. She entered the world facing challenges.

Instead of enjoying her mother’s love and care, she was confronted with a tragic destiny.

The kitten, later named Onion, arrived at The Odd Cat Sanctuary when she was just 2 weeks old, needing urgent help.

However, the reason why she was left at the sanctuary was pretty devastating…

Kristy, the vice president of The Odd Cat Sanctuary in Massachusetts, shared in an interview:

“She came to us from a local owner surrender. She was given up as a single kitten because she was the only baby in the litter, not nursing.”

When Onion arrived at the sanctuary, three dedicated veterinary technicians immediately began helping her eat and survive.

The poor kitten was underweight, but her fighting spirit was surprisingly strong. She ended up receiving round-the-clock care.

Her caregiver woke up every two hours, even during the night, ensuring she never missed a meal. Kristy added:

“It was no easy task. When she got to her second bottle feeder, who named her Onion, she started to consistently gain weight.”

At first, Onion had to be fed with a syringe. However, as she progressed rapidly, she quickly switched to formula.

She even began asking for cuddles from her caregiver. Kristy said:

“It takes a village to save lives. A lot of people came together to ensure this little girl thrived.”

With each passing day, Onion’s condition improved. Soon, her true personality began to shine, and she even showed her playful and mischievous side.

Once Onion grew big enough, she became her caregiver’s constant companion. She had to ride around in her own little cat-mobile so that her caregiver could keep up with her feeding schedule.

That was when she truly transformed. Onion became curious about every place she visited and stole the hearts of everyone she met.

Onion exceeded everyone’s expectations. She had arrived at the sanctuary because she couldn’t eat, and now she eagerly awaits each meal.

After getting to know the world around her, Onion also got the chance to meet another furry companion. It was a gentle foster dog named Puck.

Onion instantly approached him with gentle kisses, and Puck took her under his wing.

Thanks to the dedicated team of vets and volunteers, Onion experienced a remarkable transformation. She found the care she needed and is now thriving.

But this is just the beginning. Many beautiful things await her in the future. Soon, Onion will be zooming around, exploring every nook of her surroundings, and preparing for her next chapter – adoption. Kristy shared:

“This perfect angel is already spoken for and going to her forever home with a big cat brother when she’s ready.”

Despite her rough start, Onion is now flourishing. This is just the beginning of a new life for her, where many wonderful things lie ahead.
