Little Baby Ginger Kitten Rescued From the Elements: My Kitty That I Rescued

by Amy
(Knoxville, Tennesee)

Amy shared the story of Baby Girl and how she was rescued as a baby kitten. It is always great to hear about people adopting kittens in need. We love to receive stories about how you got your kitten and look at their cute kitten pics.

It was a rainy day and I was rushing to my car, trying to avoid the downpour. Before I hopped into my vehicle, I heard a terrible whimpering, mewing noise, and then saw a flash of orange. There she was, drenched and soaking wet, the skinniest little kitten that you ever could see. I thought about if she had an owner, but I couldn’t leave her out in the rain, as hard as it was pouring and as cold as it was.

I took her inside and put her in a box with a towel. She was so small, and shaking from the cold. My heart was immediately won over. I spent the next couple of days asking around my neighborhood, and talking to my neighbors. None of them claimed the cat and nobody knew of anybody who had recently had kittens. It appeared I had captured a stray alley cat, who needed a warm place to stay and a good owner.

I named my kitten Baby Girl. I guess that is not a very creative name, but I had never had a cat before her! My family was always a dog family and I couldn’t think of a name that represented how she looked when I first saw her, so tiny and so young. So, I named her Baby Girl, and she has been with me ever since. She’s really mellow, but likes to interact with people and be touched. A really odd thing about her is that she comes when she is called, and I have heard that a lot of cats have the typical cat attitude when it comes to this. Baby Girl always comes when you call her name, to see what you have got, and to get a scratch on the belly or to have her chin rubbed. She also like to have her ears ruffled a little bit.


I will never regret taking her in that first rainy day. Let me tell you, she didn’t smell all that great! However, she was so young and obviously needed a good home. I couldn’t turn her out and I have had nothing but good times with her ever since. If you ever find yourself in this situation, if you can take an animal in you will most likely receive just as much encouragement as they will from your company and an environment that meets their needs.

Thanks to the hero Amy for sharing your kitten adoption story. It is always nice to know there are people out there caring for the stray cats and kittens.
