This little kitten was found on the side of the road in Perth, Australia. The baby was snuggling up to its mother, who, unfortunately, could not survive in the busy traffic. People noticed the orphaned crumb and couldn’t drive past this sad scene.

“Stanley was estimated to be around six weeks old, but weighed a tiny 188 grams (to put that into perspective, this is barely the weight of a one week old kitten),” Perth Rescue Angels said.

The kitten was taken to the Perth Rescue Angels shelter, where he was happily accepted. The baby, nicknamed Stanley, was about six weeks old but weighed only 188 grams. He was so small and developmentally stunted that his head seemed bigger than his tiny body.
The baby needed a rehoming right away, and a volunteer named Amber took him in. Despite the challenges, Stanley showed a resilient character and a will to live from the start.
The kitten was very weak, frail, hardly moved, and almost lost consciousness. But despite this, he had a great appetite, ate a lot, and gained weight quickly. The caregiver fed him by the hour from a syringe and gave him supportive medications.

“He was really weak, shortly slipped into a coma like state. By the time another carer stabilized him and sent him to me, he had perked up again and was instantly full of energy,” Amber told Love Meow.

“He would scream the second he heard voices, launch out of his little carrier for food. You could tell he had so much fight in him. He was so confident and loving from day one,” Amber said.
Soon the baby became visibly lively, began to grow, and delighted the foster caregiver with his accomplishments. She was amazed at how brave and strong Stanley turned out to be. Within a week he stopped eating from a syringe and started eating normal food from a bowl.
Later the baby started to crawl actively, exploring every corner of the foster home, and – squeaking loudly if he needed something. Stanley was also very grateful to his foster caregiver. He often rubbed himself in her arms and purred in her lap.
After three weeks, Stanley had turned into an active, playful, and adorable handsome kitten. There was no trace of the battered, weak baby. Stanley was also introduced to a pair of kittens found on the street that were younger than him.

“He would scream the second he heard voices, launch out of his little carrier for food. You could tell he had so much fight in him. He was so confident and loving from day one,” Amber said.
Stanley immediately made friends with the little ones and even began to take care of them, taking on the duties of a big brother. The kittens played together all day long and were almost inseparable.
Now they are looking for permanent owners for the young Stanley, who will truly love him. We wish this handsome boy the best family, where he will be happy!

“Stanley and Cleo have now been renamed Gizmo and Ninjapuss. They are so loved by their family. They enjoy playing together and cuddling, and are looking forward to spending the rest of their lives together!”
