A cat named Pluto was taken to the “Dorset Rescue Kittens” shelter in Ontario after his mom got sick and could no longer care for him and his siblings.
Pluto was the only one of his litter to survive. “He was in very critical condition when we first saw him because he hadn’t had milk for at least 24 hours or more,” said Cailey Seymour, the shelter’s founder.
He was immediately placed in the incubator, they had to rehydrate him and give him some oxygen. The first night he had to be fed at all hours, “and we didn’t know if he would make it – they continue from the structure -. We were prepared for the worst ». Then luckily the situation improved: “It took five days before he was out of danger.”
In the following weeks, he began to gain weight, play and move around on his own, “but he missed a mother or a brother,” they say. A week after her arrival, a family of six cats (a one-year-old cat named Bib and her five three-week-old kittens) was brought to the shelter. These kittens were the same age as Pluto and looked a lot alike, “but we weren’t sure that their mother Bib would have accepted Pluto in the group – they still explain from the shelter – and instead she started to raise him as if he were her own puppy”.
Bib had to adapt to the new environment, but in a short time she became less shy and started looking for cuddles from humans. Pluto was wrapped in a blanket and placed in front of Bib. She immediately approached him to welcome him: «she didn’t think twice and brought him close to her and her children». Pluto stays with the other cats, but the volunteers still give him formula because he’s used to that. “Pluto seems to have known Bib and his puppies forever, and for now he takes all the pampering and attention of what has become his new family.”
