It is one thing to show human kindness but quite another to display it above and beyond what the average person would do. Admittedly, all of us who are animal lovers would stop to help a tiny kitten when it was obviously struggling for his life but for this good Samaritan, the experience became something that would touch both of their lives forever.
This is more than a story about a kitten that was saved from a very horrible and short life. It is about the love that people have for animals and how it can run in both directions if we simply allow it to do so. You will absolutely love what you see unfold before your eyes.
An Amazing Surprise
This newborn kitten was found abandoned in the pouring rain with his umbilical cord still attached. When Kathryn Van Beek saw the kitten, she was alarmed by what she saw.
Near-Death
This kitten was found near death in Auckland, New Zealand on a chilly November day
She Thought It Was a Mouse
The kitten was soaking wet because of a downpour and was even mistaken for a rodent at first glance.
Unwanted
After checking with neighborhood houses, nobody claimed the abandoned kitten. She took him home and was determined to nurture him back to health.
Superhero
She named him Bruce after Bruce Wayne, the strong Batman character
Saving the Little Life
This is Bruce getting warm after arriving at his new home
Feeding Time
She fed him with a dropper and he ate special formula for abandoned kittens.
Quite Tiny
He weighed only 0.22 pounds after 12 days
Beautiful Boy
After Bruce opened his eyes, he really started to shine with beauty.
Moving Forward
Bruce was able to eat on his own after plenty of TLC
Play Time
Bruce started getting frisky at nine weeks and began playing with his older feline sibling
Colorful
He eventually changed colors from gray with blue eyes to black with green eyes! It is not unusual for a cat’s eyes to change colors as they grow but the different color coat was a surprise.
The Reason for the Color Change
The original gray coat may have been a “fever coat” because of a mother that is stressed or sick during pregnancy
Getting Bigger
Bruce was still beautiful, even after the color change
