Abandoned Kitten on the Brink of Death Becomes a Symbol of Love for His Rescuer
Rose had been hoping to rescue a cat for a long time, but she did not expect the moment to arrive at a gas station. When her spouse told her to pull in, she found an abandoned kitten named Andy who was barely hanging on, and the connection between them was instant.
What started as a rescue turned into something much bigger, because Andy would not stop clinging to her from the very beginning. Rose also realized the kitten had found her in a place that felt strangely personal, just miles from where her own life began.
Now their story has become one of those rare animal rescue moments people cannot stop sharing.
Rose said:
"We both had this weird feeling that there would be a cat needing help there." Then she saw a poor, tiny kitten lying in the glass and cigarette butts. "His skin was so badly burned from lying on the ground in chemicals and glass."
Rose said:
"The first two nights, I didn't sleep. I stayed awake lying on the floor with my arm in his cat bed so he could hug me. More than anything, he needed to feel safe and loved. So I stayed on the floor with him until he was able to move a little more."
"The night I rescued him, he began his hugging."
His fur fell out, but eventually, in just a week or two, he looked like this:
When he met his sister, the pug, he wasn't very happy, but five minutes later, everything changed.
Now they are the best of friends! He even gives her belly rubs for love. Now they cuddle together all the time.
From the moment Andy was rescued, he couldn't stop cuddling with her. But this story is even more special. You see, Rose herself was given up at birth, and she found Andy just five miles from her birthplace!
Rose’s “arm in his cat bed” devotion echoes the owl who repaid her lifesaver with endless hugs.
