A kitten found beside a mailbox never gave up and had a special way into everyone's heart. MollyCommunity members of a trailer park stopped in their tracks when they heard the cries of kittens. Following the sound, they came to a mailbox, where a cardboard box sat nearby. Inside were two tiny kittens, meowing with all their might.The pair was rushed to the SPCA of Tompkins County, where Molly, a foster volunteer, stepped up to care for them. Though only 7-10 days old, the kittens were fiercely vocal. Molly named them Siouxsie and Budgie after the rock band, Siouxsie and the Banshees."I knew they needed names that matched their impressive pipes and feistiness," Molly shared. MollyOrphaned at such a young age, the kittens were fragile and vulnerable. Despite every effort, Budgie lost his fight to calicivirus. Siouxsie, the smaller of the two, became the lone survivor.This determined little one refused to give up. She demanded her bottle until she was fed, then purred contentedly after every meal. Molly"Siouxsie is so sweet, but as she developed all that kitten energy, she missed out on having another kitten to wrestle, play with, and learn from," Molly told Love Meow. "She is one of those kittens who loves to crawl into your hand, curl up, and go to sleep."Even after she outgrew Molly's hand, she still managed to snuggle up in it and make it work. MollyTo comfort her, Molly gave Siouxsie a plush mama cat with a soothing heartbeat. "It's not the same as having her mom or brother, but since I can't hold her 24 hours a day, it's at least something."Still, nothing compared to human touch. If Siouxsie had her way, she would have spent every moment nestled in a warm lap. Molly"After a long play session with her wand toy and tunnel and a big meal, she would settle down in my lap or on my chest and sleep for hours, changing from one cute position to another, usually until I finally had to get up because my butt was numb or I hadn't gotten anything else done all day."Like all kittens, Siouxsie learned through play, discovering limits and boundaries along the way. Molly"Sometimes, she would climb up on my shoulders and try to leap out of her enclosure, or she would use my back as a jungle gym, scrambling up and down and biting my neck or hair."But amid her antics, Siouxsie often slipped into Molly's arms and pressed tiny kisses against her chin, her way of saying thank you. MollyBy seven weeks old, Siouxsie crossed the two-pound milestone and was almost ready for adoption. "She beat the odds after being found in a box at one week old, surviving calicivirus and growing into a healthy, sweet, and energetic kitten."When it was time for her spay surgery, little did she know the perfect ending was just around the corner." Molly"She didn't even make it to the adoption floor. Someone saw one of my posts and went to pick her up (that very same day)."Now, Siouxsie is no longer a singleton. She's part of a loving family with another kitten, an older cat, and even a canine companion. "I'm so excited for her to get to play and wrestle with her new siblings." MollyThanks to the compassion of strangers and a dedicated fosterer, Siouxsie blossomed into the lap cat she was always meant to be. Today, she's living her happily-ever-after in her dream home.
