Sometimes, the best things in life come to us in unexpected ways. These gifts remind us that nearly anything is possible. Stray and abandoned animals need human intervention to thrive, which is why this story is so awesome! TikTok user Nia Briana was out for a walk near her home in Hawaii. She was pushing her daughter in a stroller while listening to a podcast with her EarPods in. When her daughter began to fuss, Nia paused to attend to her, removing her EarPods. That’s when she heard faint cries coming from the brush nearby.
Curious and concerned, Nia parked the stroller and approached the source of the sound. To her surprise, she discovered a tiny orange kitten stumbling around near an overturned box. The little kitten seemed to have been abandoned with no food, water, or care, desperately crying out for help.
In a stroke of fate, Nia had experience rescuing stray cats. Five years earlier, she had found another Orange Tabby under similar circumstances. Without hesitation, she checked the area to ensure there were no other kittens in need. Confident that this little guy was alone, she gently scooped him up, placed him in the stroller beside her daughter, and made her way home.
Once home, Nia carefully examined the kitten and noticed scabs covering his eyes, a sign of infection or injury. Concerned for his health, she immediately scheduled a vet appointment and gave the tiny feline lots of love and comfort, introducing him to the warmth and kindness of a caring home.
At the vet, the kitten was treated for worms and fleas, and his eyes were given the attention they desperately needed. The vet discovered that the kitten was at least partially blind, though the extent of his vision impairment remains uncertain as he continues to heal. Despite his blindness, the little kitten showed remarkable resilience, moving around with surprising agility and displaying a playful spirit that nothing could dampen.
From the moment she found him, Nia had a strong feeling that the kitten was meant to be part of her family. Her instincts were right! The whole family quickly fell in love with their newest furry member, grateful that he had come into their lives in such an unexpected way.
How did a woman in New Jersey accumulate 47 animals - which she then neglected horrendously - after she had already been found guilty of abuse against 99 animals in Pennsylvania? Sign the petition to ban her from ever owning or living with animals in the future!
While the kitten is still on his path to recovery, his new family takes each day as it comes, cherishing every moment with him. Whether he regains his sight or not, he is already loved beyond measure. To see the kitten’s rescue, click the video below. His update is also included below the first video. Thank you, Nia, for rescuing this sweet boy!
