She took her to the vet, got her some eye drops and treated her for fleas. “My friend fed her as soon as she got home from the vet. She was hungry.”

The tabby girl dove right into a bowl of food and went to town.

After getting a full belly, she nestled in her human’s lap for some much-needed TLC. She was rumbling with her adorable little purrs while getting chin scratches.

That night, she went to sleep, feeling full, safe and loved.

Coincidentally, Stephen had a similar encounter with another kitty who also strayed their way into his life. “I went through this 15 years ago with one of my other cats,” he said. “I, for one, welcome my new kitten overlord.”

They never expected their new home would come with a little kitten, and are glad she chose them to be her family.

The sweet tabby is making up for lost meals and love by eating and cuddling up a storm and purring nonstop in pure bliss.
