A little newborn kitten was abandoned at a grocery store, and CaliCatlady101 scooped the tiny guy up and documented his rescue on Imgur. Ollie’s story is sure to make you smile.
Ollie was just a day old when found in a grocery store parking lot.
The kitty was looking a little rough…
But she loved Ollie. She found the best way to get him to sleep was to put him next to her heart.
Having a full belly also helped. ????
He was taken to the vet one night for dehydration, but now he’s doing well!
Once back to normal, Ollie’s naps continued. ????
After 12 days, he was able to open both eyes!
She always stayed by the kitten’s side just in case he needed anything.
Ollie at two weeks old.
“Ollie is a stage 5 clinger. He would cry, and cry, and cry if he heard people outside of the room he was kept in,” his rescuer said.
“I made sure it wasn’t due to hunger, since kittens cry horribly when their bellies are empty. Sure enough, he’d reject the bottle and just chill on me instead.”
Ollie loved cuddling! ????
Peek-a-boo!
Lots and lots of sleeping…
And looking good one month later!
Ollie just kept getting bigger and prettier.
“When Ollie discovered that he was no longer able to be tucked into shirts, he reverted to sitting on shoulders instead. If you sit down in my house, or even walk by a shelf, you may end up with a curious, clingy kitty on your shoulder.”
Then she brought home another abandoned kitty one day.
And Ollie happily accepted his role as big brother!
They’re going to get along just fine. ????
“The original plan was to raise him just until he was of adoption age, then send him to a local no-kill shelter. Well, fast forward a few months, and Ollie won a place in my heart and is a permanent member of the family. Raising kitten from literal day one is a very trying, but rewarding task. He is one of the sweetest kitties I have ever known. Hope you enjoy!”
