3 Year Old Girl And Orphan Kitten Growing Up Together

When Squirrelly the kitten was found, he was as tiny as a baby squirrel. A kind person named Anthony saw the little newborn kitten whose placenta was still attached.

"He scooped him up and brought home," said Carrie Anne. "My 3 year old daughter (Isobel) thought he was a baby squirrel and so named him 'Squirrelly'."

Their daughter Isobel fell in love with the little Squirrelly and offered to help. They taught Isobel to bottle feed the little one and she became a big help for her mother while her mother worked around the clock to nurse the kitten back to health.

Over the past year, Isobel has watched Squirrelly grow from a tiny baby to a handsome cat and provided a lot of TLC. The two have become inseparable friends.

Here is their beautiful friendship from the day Squirrelly was rescued to now.
