Two Kittens Found Shivering In The Cold Kept Each Other Warm After Their Rescue
Two tiny kittens, Carl and Lenny, barely had a chance when a storm left them shivering and alone in Austin, Texas. They were only about 10 days old, and their litter was in rough shape from the start.
After Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter rescuers stepped in, Megyn of the 5 Love Languages took the surviving pair into foster care. The kittens were so weak that even taking their temperatures was a struggle, and two of their siblings did not survive.
But Carl and Lenny held on, and what happened next made their bond impossible to miss.
Carl and Lenny. Aren't they cute?
Because of Megyn's resolve, she has saved so many cats who eventually became healthy and found their forever homes.
The two kittens were recovering from their exposure to the cold. But their life journey was just beginning.
Carl and Lenny required tube feeding at first because they couldn't manage to latch onto a nipple due to their weakness.
Eventually, Carl managed to latch onto one, and his growth spurt came at a speedy pace. Lenny, on the other hand, was still smaller than his sibling.
The two kittens realized that fingers make good pacifiers. Their teeth felt like small needles, but Megyn didn't mind.
Whatever it takes to make them happy!
Their recovery started slowly, but the little brothers had each other through it.
The kittens are growing and finally showing some purrsonality.
Carl was the one who pushed me to fight so hard, as he immediately purred the minute he was touched. He’s always had a calm, sweet way about him.
Reaching one pound in just four weeks
Since they've grown bigger, it's time for them to learn about eating real food. Lenny liked it so much that he decided to ditch the bottle.
Lenny has always been the goofball and is as cuddly as can be. He has a habit of quickly falling asleep mid-play when he’s playing on his back.
They were getting stronger fast, and it showed.
It’s a lot like two sister cats who stuck together through two adoptions while their first owner was in hospice care.
The two brothers are the best of friends.
Megyn constantly finds them cuddling with each other. Lenny is especially fond of wrapping his arms around his brother every time the two furballs nap.
A new friend arrives. Together, they are the BRO SQUAD.
Then Oliver joined the mix, and the whole dynamic changed.
Oliver is a sweet cat who's been with Megyn for his own recovery. He has neurological injuries and fractures.
The big cat was shy at first, but the kittens attached to him immediately.
Oliver wants to be around the kitties to snuggle with them or to be the leader of their play. In return, the kittens adore him, and they're always looking forward to hanging out with him.
I’m grateful he’s found company in these two goofy boys.
