Minnelli the kitten is ready to move into her permanent home, and is hoping for the perfect family to adopt her.
Karma Andrews, a trustee of The Scratching Post, says Minnelli had a tough start to life, but you wouldn’t know it to look at her now.
Minnelli and her two siblings were found on the side of a rural road, and Minnelli was the smallest of the trio. Not only was she tiny, but she was clearly malnourished and very frail. In fact, says Karma, she was only half the size of the other two kittens.
“Due to her condition we were unsure if she would even survive. Sometimes, despite the best efforts in supportive care, very young kittens succumb to organ failure as a result of dehydration or starvation.”
After what were a “harrowing few days,” however, Minnelli showed her carers her fighting spirit, turning the corner and recovering well, says Karma.
