Woman Visits Shelter for Three Kittens and Ends Up Rescuing an Additional Tiny Orphan


Frankie: A Tiny Kitten’s Journey to a Happy Foster Home

The Heartwarming Rescue

In the cozy town of Hoboken, New Jersey, a tiny orphan kitten’s life took a heartwarming turn. Jess Thoren, a dedicated fosterer and owner of KittenBnb, encountered the little feline at a shelter. She was there to pick up three kittens but was drawn to the solitary, tiny orphan. Named Frankie (Victor Frankenstein), this little bundle of fur was in urgent need of a foster home.

Frankie’s plight touched Jess’s heart. Without a second thought, she welcomed him into her home, along with the other three kittens she initially came for. Despite being younger and smaller, Frankie quickly adapted to his new environment.

Growth and Adventures

At just 250 grams, Frankie required constant care, including bottle feedings and tender loving care. But this didn’t deter him. Frankie showed incredible determination to keep up with his new foster siblings. “He’s growing fast,” says Erik Thoren of KittenBnb, indicating Frankie’s quick progress despite his small size.

The joy of being in a home, surrounded by furry friends, was evident in Frankie’s demeanor. His foster siblings adored him, including him in all their activities. Frankie, a keen observer, learned by watching the older kittens. He mimicked their movements, playfully engaging in their antics despite occasional tumbles. His fearless and confident nature shone through.

After energetic play sessions, Frankie would snuggle up with his siblings, purring himself to sleep. His small size never seemed to be a barrier to his spirited lifestyle.

Blossoming in a Loving Environment

As Frankie continued to grow, his playful and rambunctious nature became more pronounced. The kittens together started exploring and playfully causing mischief around the house. Frankie, the cuddle-bug, had a particular way of sleeping, always seeking the comfort of his siblings’ fluffy coats.

Despite his rough start in life, Frankie was thriving in his foster home. His bond with his foster siblings grew stronger each day. They were all preparing for the day they would find their forever homes. For now, Frankie’s days were filled with cuddles, playful antics, and his comforting purrs.

Jess’s decision to bring Frankie home marked the beginning of a beautiful journey. The smallest kitten with the biggest heart was now living his best life, surrounded by love and care.

In summary, Frankie’s journey from a lonely shelter kitten to a joyful, playful member of a loving foster family highlights the transformative power of care and companionship. His story is a testament to the difference a little love can make in the life of a tiny, orphaned kitten.
