PastelChatonsOrphelinsMontrealA Good Samaritan spotted a tiny tortico (a blend of tortoiseshell and calico) struggling to move in the middle of the street, with no mother or siblings in sight.The finder quickly sought help through a local rescue network. Veronique responded immediately, bringing the kitten into a quiet, cozy space where she could decompress.Seeing that the kitten was limping and unable to bear weight on one of her back legs, Veronique took her to the vet. ChatonsOrphelinsMontrealX-rays revealed that the kitten, named Pastel, had a broken leg. How she ended up alone on the street remained a mystery, but one thing was certain: she had narrowly escaped the worst, thanks to the compassionate people who took her in.Determined to give Pastel the best chance at recovery, Veronique rallied the community to help secure the care she needed. ChatonsOrphelinsMontrealThanks to an outpouring of community support, Pastel was able to get the surgery she needed for her leg. A caring volunteer with Chatons Orphelins Montreal stepped forward to foster her, providing a safe haven for her recovery and helping her learn to trust humans."She was incredibly lucky to have been found in time. She went straight to the clinic for surgery, and her leg was saved," Chatons Orphelins Montreal shared. ChatonsOrphelinsMontrealPastel was a bit shy at first, but with nourishing meals and reassurance, she began to come out of her shell. The veterinary staff were completely smitten with the kitten, who soaked up every bit of attention she could get.They wrapped her in soft blankets and kept her on their desk while they worked, where she dozed off within minutes. ChatonsOrphelinsMontrealAfter plenty of rest and healing, Pastel bounced back with renewed strength. Soon she was running, exploring, and playing like a kitten who had only ever known love. "She walks perfectly as if nothing had happened. After a few 'burrito' sessions, she discovered her first purr."As her confidence grew, her playful personality blossomed. She darted after toys, investigated every corner of the house, and reveled in all the games she could finally enjoy. ChatonsOrphelinsMontrealPastel zipped around the house like a tiny whirlwind, scaling cat trees, ambushing her humans, and turning every moment into an adventure. "She's very playful and loves playing fetch like a dog. She's also a climber who loves heights, and she's nimble with her big paws."Pastel is polydactyl, sporting extra toes that give her oversized "mittens." She uses them with impressive precision, snatching toys mid-air like a seasoned baseball player. ChatonsOrphelinsMontrealShe comes running the moment her people call her name. She befriends other kittens as if she's known them all her life. "Whenever we work from home in front of a computer, she comes to lie down near us, her head on our elbow," the foster family shared."She adores the other cats. She plays with the younger ones to burn off energy and seeks out the older cat whenever she wants comfort." ChatonsOrphelinsMontrealThe once timid kitten has transformed into a confident purr machine who chirps whenever she wants affection. She trots over when it's time to play and goes wild for her spinning bell and feather toy.And with those big polydactyl paws, she's become a master at catching anything that moves. ChatonsOrphelinsMontrealIt truly takes a village to save a cat, and Pastel's journey is a testament to what compassion can achieve.Today, she runs and plays like any other kitten, brave, curious, and full of life. She's ready to find a loving forever home, just in time for the holidays. ChatonsOrphelinsMontrealShare this story with your friends.
