A family in North Carolina, USA, found a little ginger kitten in a back alley. When they approached him, they saw that the skinny kitty had its eyes closed – it turned out to be due to an infection. The kindhearted family decided to help the poor thing. They contacted Murphy’s Law Animal Rescue Center, whose staff went to pick up the little fellow. A volunteer named Sarah took the kitten in and began to take care of him – feeding him from a pipette by the hour, taking care of him, and treating his eyes.

“They asked if we could help this ‘sick kitten that was found,’ how could we refuse? We rallied around him and gave him every ounce of critical care we could,” Sarah Kelly, founder of the rescue, shared.

The kitten was named Meep and he proved to be a brave fighter. He went fearlessly through all the treatments and had a great appetite. Soon he was finally able to see normally. After that, Meep began to explore more around him.
Meep gained weight, got bigger and more curious, and he also became very fond of his caregiver. The kitten always thanked her with a loud purr and constantly asked for affection.

“He didn’t have enough energy, as his flea infestation and double eye infection really took a lot out of him, but he continued to improve and started to gain weight. We are so grateful our care was in time to help save his life. What one week in foster care did for Meep. He is gaining weight and putting some meat on his bones. He is starting to get his energy back, and has treated us to some of his marvelous Meep purrs.”
About the same time that Meep was rescued, Sara took in another kitten – the little Ruby. She had been recuperating all this time, too, and recently her caretaker decided to introduce the two of them.

“Ruby is a classic little diva. She has a lot to say and will do anything to get attention. She is such a spicy little lady,” Sarah shared.
The two kittens got along  and have been spending every day together ever since. When they are older, they will find owners for them and the caretaker will try to give the best friends away together!

“They were finally able to ‘move in’ together. Moving day included upgraded digs and a new cat tree, not to mention a new best friends forever in the making.”
