Rescued Kitten Finds Home With A Group of Friendly Huskies

Life on the streets is nothing to scoff at, especially when you are a little one. Unfortunately, those are the circumstances in which a helpless kitten in San Francisco Bay found herself.

Most people know California to be a relatively sunny state, but that doesn’t apply across the whole area. Places like San Jose are different from LA, where the night temperatures can be brutal. There have been recordings of temperature readings hitting minus 40!

With all hope seemingly in the bin, the kitten was resigned to fate, but mother destiny had other plans for our helpless fellow. The kitten caught the eyes of two sisters, Thi and Thram Bui, who decided to save it from the streets.

Once the sisters got the kitten home, Thoa was gleeful at the new household member and named her Rosie. After careful examination, Thoa realized the kitten was in terrible shape.

Sadly, Thoa’s efforts were met with resistance as Rosie didn’t want to eat. The lady used all her tips and tricks to get the kitten some food, but the creature was adamant. There was no getting through to her.

When everything was looking grim, Thoa decided to involve Lilo, their Siberian husky, to help encourage Rosie to cling to life. The animal rescuer was scared that the little one might not make it, and maybe she just needed some safety and comfort.

Immediately Lilo entered the picture, Rosie’s mood changed, and she welcomed the dog into her space. Lilo was also a fan of the kitten and stayed by the kitten’s side, cuddling all night long. Sooner than later, Rosie felt hungry and started looking for food.

Eventually, Rosie was ready to nurse on a feeding bottle, and Lilo stayed by her side. Thoa even brought the dog’s feeding bowl close to her, so the moment was not interrupted.

Lilo’s cuddles were pretty potent as Thoa recounted that Rosie began feeding just a few hours after chilling with her new savior. This was an exciting development, considering the two species are usually sworn enemies. Nevertheless, the sisters were amazed and happy at how things had turned out.

Whether the dogs would get along with the kitten was a big gamble, but if Lilo were an implication, things would work out for the better. Surprisingly, the energy was optimistic when the two dogs were introduced to Rosie. They quickly swarmed the kitten, smothering her with licks and cuddles.

Thanks to this new family, Rosie picked up a few habits that are not typically cat-like. She was an official member of the pack, and considering her age, it was only fair she acted like the doggies.

The plan was straightforward; Rosie would be part of the team whenever the family went on walks. Upon hearing this suggestion, Thoa was skeptical of its success but chose to humor her sister just in case things worked out.

Remember when we said that Rosie picked up dog habits? The walk wasn’t the only thing with the cat looking like a husky. Unlike most cats, Rosie never wanted a litter box. Instead, she learned from her siblings how to go potty; it was like a dog.

Sadly, despite the bonding and fun activities in the last few weeks, it was time for Rosie to find a new home. Thoa hadn’t planned to keep the kitten, so she needed to ensure she got a perfect placement sooner than later. To help in this decision, Thoa looked to the pack for answers.

As much as Rosie had picked up some dog habits, she was still a cat and acted like it from time to time. This is due to her interaction with fellow cats within the house. This has helped her develop some traits crucial and essential to a cat.

The dog traits don’t end there, as our Rosie has one distinct feature most cats don’t. She loves the water! Yes! This cool cat is okay with getting wet. So when the family went boating, our little friend was in tow, and she barely raised a fuss.

Rosie has grown to be compassionate, thanks to the kindness shown to her, emulating her environment. Even with her rough start in life, the kitten is pretty soft and pays it forward whenever she gets the opportunity.

After five years of living with the huskies, Rosie has become a foster parent. She is no longer a kitten; according to some online updates from the sisters, she has learned a lot from Lilo.

Thanks to their heartwarming activities, the Buis sisters have received a lot of praise online and offline. People love their work, saving creatures off the dangerous streets. On the other hand, these girls know how to pull our heartstrings as they have constantly flooded their feeds with cute images of rescued kittens.

Even with the new ‘citizens’ influx into their sanctuary, Rosie is still considered the star attraction. After all, she is responsible for this new venture. That’s why regular updates on the husky cat are still ongoing. On her 5th birthday, the cat celebrated it in style together with her siblings Lilo and Infinity.

You might think that since Rosie took over rescue duties, Lilo has been resting on her laurels, but that was not the situation. In 2020 on mother’s day, the dog was seen online chilling with a new kitten resting on its head. Regardless, her maternal instincts were as strong as ever, evidenced by the other kittens in the frame.

Pair bonding is quite common in the animal community, as evidenced by this photo where two kittens have taken over the scale. You have to check your weight, right? You shouldn’t let the loving and comfort food get to you!

Kittens are pretty playful, and unsurprisingly, they love hiding in tiny spaces. As for these siblings, they are inseparable, and you’ll always find them snuggling in the same spot. Don’t take our word for it; look at this picture taken by the Bui sisters.

According to Mini Cat Town’s website, since 2015, the foundation has rescued over 340 cats and kittens. That’s a pretty impressive feat, considering how much work goes into rescuing animals.

Reading Rosie’s story, you might think that feral cats have a knack for abandoning their little ones. Nonetheless, these creatures have strong maternal instincts, and it takes extraordinary circumstances for them to let their babies go. The outdoors are brutal as resources are scarce, so any signs of weakness are disregarded.

The calico kitten was tiny, and the mom probably felt she wouldn’t survive the outdoors. So, in a ruthless but calculated move, mama cat decided to focus her efforts on the more robust kittens and abandoned the weaker ones.

Alan spent no time getting the kitten toys and food and preparing a place to stay. He even named the little one Sansa as her blue eyes reminded her of Sophie Turner, the actress. Our man was so happy with his new find he quickly took to social media to share some images.

During those ten weeks, the mother’s milk will provide all the necessary nourishment for the kitten to survive. As for Sansa, she was eight weeks shy of the ideal target, meaning she was still in the red zone. If not handled well, Alan would be in trouble soon.

Luckily, Alan was smart enough to follow the advice handed out to him, and he took the kitten to the vet and vaccinated her. This was the first step in ensuring things went well, as a kitten needs a lot of care and attention.

It’s a good thing Alan asked for help because kittens are pretty delicate, and one wrong move can cause you lots of pain and anguish. The online community told Alan that the little one couldn’t feed on regular cat food as it lacked the necessary nutritional value. Instead, the kitten needed a protein and calcium diet to grow healthy.

The next option was milk, but our man quickly realized cow’s milk gives kittens dysentery. To make matters worse, Sansa couldn’t feed herself, so Alan had to step in. It was a job and a half, but Alan was ready for action.

If Alan stuck to the script and looked after Sansa properly, the kitten would grow healthier and friendlier. So far, everything was going well, and after a few weeks of bottle feeding, Sansa was up and about. She even started having solid food.

Eventually, the kitten warmed up to its carer, snuggling and playing with Alan. Sooner than later, she was at home, enjoying cardboard box mazes and toying with various things in the house. At this time, potty training began as Alan got Sansa a litter box.

Sansa’s actions were a good sign, as healthy kittens love to play like that. Even then, the commenters recommended Alan get a scratch pole and yelp whenever the kitten went too far. This worked out well as Sansa became less aggressive over time. Also, as the little one grew, she lost her blue eyes and developed yellow-green ones. This was a further indication she was growing healthy.

After a while, Alan decided to get another cat for Sansa to play with, and in came Arya. The older cat wasted no time showing the newbie around. This was a good call for Alan, as the cat was no longer lonely.
