Healthy and happy Furball today | photo by ©photo27
This is a very touching story about an abandoned kitten who was separated from her litter and left alone for several days, but eventually found a home that she is so thankful for. You might need some tissues for this one.
Written by Furball’s daddy nicknamed ©Photo27 from Nanking, China (translated by Amy B.)
Her name is Furball. When I first took photos of her, she was only a little over one month old. It was on April 11, 2010.
She was found along with three other kittens from the same litter. Someone adopted her siblings, but left her there by herself because she was very sick. When I met her the first day, she was having digestive tract problems. For a kitten, if she didn’t get treated, her survival rate was very slim.
I learned that Furball was alone by herself on the street for several days. A neighbor who had never had a cat, saw her and was heart broken by what the little kitten had to endure. Even though she thought Furball might not make it, she gave her some food scraps, hoping she would feel a bit better.

Furball wanted to live so badly even though food scraps and rain water were all she got.
When I saw her, she was trying everything she had got to clean the dirt off her legs, but she was so feeble that she was staggering and fell into the mud. I reached out my hand to pet her on the back of her head. She was startled. She had never been touched by anyone since she was separated from her mother. When she realized that I meant good, she looked at me with hope and wish to live.
I had to bring her home with me. I gave her proper medication, a nice bath and cleaned up her feet. She was very sweet the whole time, letting me do my work to help her. She knew I rescued her. Even though the medicine was so bitter and hard to swallow, she did not struggle and just made a very faint groan when she tasted it. She did not whine or fuss about anything.
I made her a bed, she immediately jump into it. I gave her food and water, she went crazy over it.
From that point on, she knew she would live.
Today Furball is a healthy, happy kitty. She is growing very fast and having so much fun playing in the house with me everyday. She is the most precious gift in my life.
©Photo27 has several cats in his home, all adopted. He is a professional photographer who happens to love and adore cats.

Mom and I are so glad that you and Furball found each other. Trust me, she will grow up and love you completely because you rescued her. I know this to be true.
this is truly wonderful and touching too…
Wonderful story – you are special. I have survivor cats and dogs, but none have stories as touching as this.

I don't believe in "God" but I believe in karma. You have a lot of good karma stored up, for your kind & loving ways. When will humans realize that we aren't that special unless we help the helpless; that all life is precious and can contribute something? Just as you saved this dear creature, your story has inspired others to help. I write this as my own Humane Society cat is happy on my lap.
And now she's beautiful
oh, it was so touching I wish I have a cat but i can't because i'm allergic to fur
good thing I can still read some stories
This IS such a touching story and I'm so happy that furball found a home. At the same time the story reminds me that there are sooooo many kittens and cats out there that needs our love and help, also. Unfortunately, not all of them gets help. I really wish that everyone can realize how important it is to spray/neuter the felines unless they have plans for any newborn that might come. If people are more responsible about their own cats, there will be less felines to go through what furball did
What a heartwarming story & what a sweet little kitten!
Empty gelatin capsules you can buy at health food stores are wonderful for putting cut up or crushed pills in for medicating cats. I have 11 rescued cats, about 20 over the past 25 years, each with a heartbreaking story.
Photo27 beautiful pictures! I'm glad Furrball now has a wonderful loving home! Thank you for rescuing one more kitty.
Your pictures are so beautiful! Your story made me cry both of sadness and happiness. Her beginning in life was awful but she met you, what a wonderful gift you both received!!!
Oh Furball! I'm so glad she's now in a loving forever home! What a lovely lovely story! Thank you

Aweh, she is a little furball :3
Love this! It's so good to see people who give animals the kindness and love that they so deserve.
Gosh, another story that gave me happy tears! Furball has been blessed by finding someone who cares so much about her!
You are a beautiful human being, tanks.
Your story gives me hope that there are still people out there who rescue animals & strive to help them live & give them a good home. Thank you.
Thank you for your lovely story. I have 2 lovely cats now but at one time I was feeding strays. You were lucky that furball took to you. Unfortunately all my strays had to be put down as they were feral but they did appreciate my food.
best wishes
A very good and touching story! The world needs more people like "photo27"!
So glad Furball was rescued. I wish all people were as kind as the person who rescued this sweet little soul.
