A mother cat and her only kitten were rescued from life on a porch and are finally getting the happy tale they always wanted. Storybook the mother cat and Fable the kittenTails HighA frail mother cat was found abandoned on a porch, with her tiny kitten clinging to her side. They survived on scraps that barely filled their bellies.When volunteers from Tails High learned of their plight, they rushed to help. They had rescued other cats from the same location, all with rough beginnings, and they were determined to change the fate of the mother and her kitten.When the rescue request came in, the volunteers knew instantly what to call them. They were rescued from life on a porchTails High"We thought they looked like a pair that a children's book would be written about," Tails High shared. So they named them Storybook and Fable.Both were in poor conditionmalnourished and infested with fleas. Storybook's coat was thin and patchy from damaged skin, and Fable was anemic but clung to life with remarkable grit. "We are so grateful for our volunteers who jump into action at a moment's notice." Tails HighSafe at last, Storybook and Fable settled into a foster home where their healing could begin. With nourishing meals and attentive care, Storybook's strength returned, and her missing fur started to grow back. Fable regained her appetite and, with it, her playful spark.Once they were stable, they moved in with Jennifer, a long-term fosterer, to continue their journey toward recovery. "Fable is a determined little soul. She had a rough entry to life, but her lesson was 'I can do anything,'" Jennifer told Love Meow. FableTails High"Mama Storybook is the sweetest girl you can imagine and an expert lap cat. She wants to be with the people all the time, if not in a lap, then close by in a cozy place where she can supervise."Affectionate and easygoing, Storybook is a true love bug. Fable, following in her pawsteps, has become quite the cuddle companion herself. StorybookTails High"Fable is fine with getting a million kisses, being held, and snuggling on a lap or shoulder."Now brimming with energy, she's discovered the joy of play, racing across the room, batting at toys, and pouncing with fearless enthusiasm. Her body may be small, but her personality is larger than life. "She would sometimes rather play than eat." Fable has discovered the joy of playTails HighStorybook continues to heal beautifully, and the bare patches on her coat are filling in with soft new fur. With time, her glossy, regal beauty will return in full."She's big into bird watching, loves all the toys, especially wand toys, which she wants to carry away with her." Storybook enjoys sunbathing and watching little critters out the windowTails HighFable loves to seek out her mom for a grooming session, then curl up beside her to cuddle or nap.She's also endlessly curious about life beyond the kitten room. Whenever she manages to dart out, she struts down the hallway as if she owns the place, unfazed by the many cats in the house. Tails High"They are turning a new page as they continue to soak up all the cuddles and shoulder snuggles with their foster family, and show us how far love goes in making a difference for these deserving kitties," Tails High added. Tails HighThanks to the compassionate volunteers, the story of the mother and daughter has been rewritten. Once a tale of survival against the odds, it is now one of safety, comfort, and the promise of a future filled with love. Tails HighShare this story with your friends.
