A kitten met another cat with a similar past. They immediately hit it off as if they'd been waiting for each other their whole lives. ChatonsOrphelinsMontrealA tabby kitten was found outside with no mother or siblings. Sickly and frail, she didn't resist when a kind stranger scooped her up and rushed to find help.Once indoors, she was kept warm and given food and water. Completely exhausted from her ordeal, she lay quietly, trying to regain her strength. When rescuers from Chatons Orphelins Montreal learned about her situation, they sprang into action."We took her under our wing. She was a tiny kitten, barely two months old. We named her Atika," the rescue shared. ChatonsOrphelinsMontrealAtika was treated for an upper respiratory infection and stomach issues. With a dedicated foster family caring for her, she could finally begin to heal. "She didn't know humans, so she felt lost and overwhelmed when she first arrived."Little by little, she realized that food was plentiful and gentle hands meant safety. The fear in her eyes began to fade. ChatonsOrphelinsMontrealAs she continued to recover, she grew stronger and more trusting of people, especially those who brought her food. Before long, she ventured out of her cubby bed, seeking pets and affection.She came out of her shell and fully embraced her new life as a pampered indoor cat. ChatonsOrphelinsMontreal"She is sweet and gentle, but still anxious in unfamiliar environments. With positive reinforcement, she has started to play and can't get enough of it."Once she discovered cuddles, she wanted more. For most of her young life, Atika had been alone, wandering the streets and struggling to survive. Now that she was safe and healthy, she longed for a companion to share her world with. ChatonsOrphelinsMontrealAround that time, a calico named Pastel had been rescued from the harsh outdoors. A few weeks older than Atika, she had a similar story of survival. After recovering from an injury, she, too, needed a friend, so the rescue decided to introduce the two.Atika immediately trotted up to her new buddy, brushing against her and greeting her with enthusiasm, as if she'd been waiting for her all along. ChatonsOrphelinsMontrealThe two became instant friends, following each other everywhere like long-lost sisters. "They play and groom each other. Atika imitates Pastel a lot, and together they have a beautiful synergy."Atika is a bit more reserved and takes time to warm up to new people before showing her cuddly side, while Pastel is bold, curious, and always ready for the next adventure. ChatonsOrphelinsMontreal"Even though they aren't from the same litter, they've formed an incredibly close bond."Their personalities complement each other perfectly, like yin and yang. Pastel has brought out Atika's playful, mischievous side. They race through the house, leap onto furniture, and turn every room into their playground. "They're little rascals who love to play with anything that moves." ChatonsOrphelinsMontrealWhen they aren't wrestling or chasing each other, they're curled up together like two peas in a pod. With Pastel by her side, Atika has grown braver, setting off on one adventure after another.They adore the other cats in the house and never turn down treats from their humans. ChatonsOrphelinsMontrealAfter a rough start to life, Atika found her way into a loving foster home, where she not only healed but met her best friend.Together, they are thriving, filling their days with joy, affection, and plenty of shared mischief.
