Foster Failed Kitten Wandered the Streets Alone Until He Was Rescued and Made Friends with an Adult Kitty
The little kitten was spotted wandering alone on the streets of Los Angeles. He was only 6 weeks old and in need of a home and proper care. Consequently, the kitten was taken to a shelter in Los Angeles. The little one was in very bad shape, suffering from a severe upper respiratory tract infection.
Best Friends Animal Society took over the care of this little one, nurturing him until he was completely healthy. The kitty was given a new name—Finn. Small and still timid, Finn didn't want to spend time alone.
One of the volunteers at the Animal Society, Ally W., stepped in to help. She brought Finn home, where a new friend was waiting for him.
A big help whenever she brought foster kittens from the shelter was her cat, Zephyr. Ally said, "He has a big heart and lots of patience for tiny kittens. He is my foster-fail kitty and has been with me since he was five weeks old."
He was so timid that he didn't even leave his box. This is where Z shines. He nudged his head into the box and shared a few welcome kisses on Finn's nose. The suspicious Finn couldn't resist that kindness.
The confidence that Z possessed also helped Finn relax a little bit. "Within a week, Z helped him come out of his shell."
The fact that Z doesn't have milk wasn't an obstacle for the kitten to comfort-nurse.

Finn would follow his friend on all adventures. When Z jumped on a tree, Finn jumped right after him. And when the games were over, Finn settled down next to his big friend to nap.
"He found comfort in Z's chubby belly and just started purring," Ally said. Z showered Finn with care and love, boosting Finn's confidence.
It took two weeks for the little kitten to learn to trust and become a true cuddly toy. This was a sign that Finn was ready for a fresh start and some new acquaintances.
A few days before Christmas, Finn had a visit from his potential new family. This little kitty managed to charm them. "Finn fell asleep in his new dad's lap when they came to see him. It was meant to be." Once an insecure, afraid, and shy kitten, he became confident and happy, showering his new family with boundless love.
"His mom and dad love him dearly, and he has a new older brother (also a rescued cat). They instantly bonded," Ally said.
Z continued his mission of helping other shelter cats.
