Foster Kitten's Precious Smile Wins The Internet For Being A Purfectly Precious Kitty
Have you ever seen something so irresistibly precious that you let out an audible, "d'awh"? If you've never had the distinct pleasure of experiencing such overwhelming feelings of "that's the cutest," let me be the first to welcome you to the club with these adorable images of Blossom, a foster kitten in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
When Dr. Harvey Karp, a renowned pediatrician, and his team captured photos of the kitten trio they were fostering (The Powerpurr Girls: Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup), they knew immediately that these were photos that needed to be shared with the Internet. Dr. Karp states, "The joy and laughter that pets bring into our lives can be incredibly uplifting, especially for children." Blossom's precious little smile embodies the wholesome feelings we cherish.
To date, over 74,000 people have reacted to the original post, and over 214,000 people have shared it! As noted by Gretchen Rubin, a happiness researcher, "The things that make us happy are often the simplest, like the joy of a cute kitten." This sentiment is echoed by Dr. Dan Siegel, a child psychiatrist, who states, "Animals can help children develop emotional intelligence and empathy, enriching their social connections." The overwhelming response to this adorable kitten showcases the universal appeal of such heartwarming moments.
Dr. Laura Berman, a renowned sex therapist and relationship expert, emphasizes the importance of fostering connections, stating, "Fostering not only provides a safe haven for animals but also enriches the lives of those who care for them." In New Mexico, foster families play a crucial role in keeping animals safe and loved while they await their forever homes, as highlighted by the initiatives of local shelters and organizations dedicated to animal welfare.
Lauren Boutz is one of those volunteers.
The biochemistry student regularly does what she can to help pets in her community find their forever homes.
However, when this trio of 5-week-old kittens came to her home, we can't imagine anyone anticipated that sweet little Blossom would have such a flawless smile.
It has been proven that the right pictures help get pets adopted faster.
Naturally, when Lauren shared pictures of Blossom's sweet smile, the Internet was immediately won over.
All the sweet kittens were adorable, but Blossom's smile is what truly captured hearts across the globe.
It would be impawsible not to share photos of such sweeties with everyone who wants to see.
Small, scruffy kittens with sweet, big eyes make the world go round.
The Powpurrpuff Kittens definitely fit the bill.
Lauren is using this viral opportunity to encourage more pet adoptions, like a good human.
We wonder if Blossom knows the impact her precious face has had?
Seriously, look at this kitten.
Facebook is not the only place where Blossom "blew up." Twitter has gone bananas over her, too.
Nothing but praise is being sung for the frisky feline.
The world is a better place now that we've seen Blossom.
