Two Lonely Kittens Who Lost Their Moms Become Best Friends In The Care Of Their Foster Home
Two tiny kittens started life with heartbreak, then ended up finding comfort in the one place they least expected. Monique and Stranger Danger were both alone, both fragile, and both in need of round-the-clock foster care.
At the Animal Welfare League of Arlington in Virginia, Monique lost her mother and siblings early, while Stranger Danger arrived as part of an underweight litter that needed extra help. Once they were placed under the same foster roof, the two kittens quickly became inseparable.
What began as a rescue story turned into a sweet little friendship, and it only gets better from here.
Monique found herself on her way to Stranger Danger’s side after she was born at the Animal Welfare League of Arlington (AWLA) in Virginia to an unwell mother. Her three siblings died, leaving her alone in the care of Paula, a critical care foster mother. But she wouldn’t be a lonely kitten for long.
Monique and Stranger Danger both came from broken families
Stranger Danger, or SD for short, was also in Paula's care, but the unexpected arrival of a litter of 4-week-old kittens weighing as much as 2-week-old newborns caused a shift in Paula's and her colleague fosterer Penny Richards' rosters. Penny received the underweight litter of flame point kittens in a "wild ride," but one look revealed they were in such horrible condition that they needed Paula's critical care expertise.
As a result, a swap was made to ensure that all of the kittens received the finest possible care. Penny received two gorgeous kittens that were meant to be her family and best friends as a reward.
Monique and SD were wonderful together.
They were both sick
And lonely
Monique and SD, both lovely and only a week apart in age, demonstrate how diverse kittens can be. Penny says that “Monique is such a lovebug.”
She loves to flop into Penny's lap for belly rubs after a big bowl of chow. She's a sweetheart who is easy to please, while SD, on the other hand, is a drama queen who expects fulfillment.
"SD is the king of complainers and sings me his song of sorrow all day long. Anyone would think this chunky boy was being underfed,” she added.
It also echoes the teen’s outrage after revealing her plan to snatch her little sister’s beloved cat when moving out, see what she said.
Their personalities could not be more different.
But then they found each other

These two kittens are inseparable
What do the two have in common, though?
“These two are some of the chunkiest kittens in town,” Penny said. “Especially SD with his full-bodied figure.”
“Move over avocado bod, watermelon bod is in this summer.”
Monique and SD were previously lonely kittens, but now they have found family and companionship in each other. And that's wonderful.
Some friendships are just meant to happen.
That’s nothing compared to the family demanding rehoming of an aggressive rescue cat after the beloved pet vanished following a feline attack, read the full story here.
