This Tiny Foster Kitten Was the Most Adorable Quarantine Buddy, and Now He Is Best Friend Forever
Monkey arrived with a tiny body, a big personality, and just enough chaos to make a strange time feel a little softer. The ginger foster kitten had already been through a lot when Merissa opened her home to him, and he wasted no time settling in.
As stay-at-home orders changed daily life, the little rescue quickly became more than a foster pet. He had food, warmth, toys, and a person who seemed to be exactly what he needed.
By the second day, Monkey was already acting like he belonged there, and the rest of his story only gets sweeter from there.
This is Monkey
During his days at home with Merissa, Monkey has found much to keep him engaged. The young boy enjoys padding around the home on his beautiful toe beans, and his curiosity keeps him occupied with new discoveries.
The adorable baby has also discovered the joys of playing with toys.
San Jose Animal Services brought him to Saving Grace Rescue, an animal shelter
That’s when Merissa stepped in.
Amber Rose, the shelter founder, put out the call for fosters for Monkey, and Merissa responded shortly after
It’s a similar comfort story to the baby monkey rejected by his mother, finding solace in a stuffed animal.

Monkey kept Merissa cheerful during those strange times. “He’s been through a lot in the first week, but this fantastic foster mom makes him feel loved and safe,” Amber said. "Monkey and Merissa appear to be a fantastic match," she added.
Monkey and Merissa clicked, and now they are happy

Amber stated that all of the other cats and kittens at Saving Grace Rescue are secure with volunteers and foster families. "We have had a wonderful influx of volunteer fosters. We are grateful every day for our SGR family,” she shared. Thank you to all the animal rescue professionals, volunteers, and fosters for keeping cats and kittens safe, from all of us. If you want to help, contact your local shelter to learn what rescue animals are in need in your area.
