Black and White Baby Kitten Rescue and Adoption: Miracle is HIS Name

Check out these cute kitten pictures of Miracle. This little baby kitten was rescued by Ardith and her husband who cared for him until he was 8 weeks old. Miracle is a gorgeous baby black and white kitten.

We found this poor defenseless kitten, that had just been born, outside on the lawn. We knew it had just been born because the mother cat jumped and the kitten was still attached to the umbilical cord. She dragged it around until the cord came loose. My husband motioned me over to take a look at it.

As I knelt down to look at it, I thought it was dead. The kitten began mewing . "It's a miracle", my husband said and so it became his name. I gently picked it up, looked around for the mother cat, but she was no where to be found. I placed the kitten inside my shirt, to keep it warm, and took it into the house. I retrieved a box and some towels, and a heating pad from the pantry and made a warm bed for the kitten.

The kitten was fed from a small doll bottle and it began to thrive. By the time it was old enough to wean, it had bitten off the end of the nipple. I did not know what to do, so I called the vet. She said it would probably come out one end or the other. The following day, Miracle vomited the nipple and went on playing.

We kept her for about eight weeks, then we gave her to a nice, young man. We were not supposed to have cats in the house. We told him the kittens name and how he came to be. He liked the name and decided to keep it. It made us happy that he wanted to keep Miracle's name, but it also made us sad that we had to give him up.

We hope that Miracle is doing fine and that we will always remember him.

Thanks Ardith for sharing your tale of kitten rescue! I am glad that you were able to save little baby kitten Miracle and find him a good home.
