The young cat was saved from death and began to grow.
Litters of kittens were discovered without their mother in a cat colony.
They were sent to the nearest shelter in search of a better life.
Jess Thoren, a foster volunteer from New Jersey, intervened and brought all eight children to her house.
She noticed that one of the kittens was much smaller than others.
«I adopted kittens when they were only a week. Kelly (the smallest tabby) weighed only 84 grams.
She was pretty frail», Jess said in the news.
Since she could not eat from a bottle, a striped kitten the size of a hand had to be fed through the tube every two hours.
Jess noticed two small sores on her tiny body and immediately began treatment.
The young cat was saved from death and began to grow.
The red brother of Kelly Zack, who was almost twice as much as her, entertained her after each feeding. He pressed against her and even volunteered to be her pillow.
The striped girl ultimately reached 150 grams, the size of a weekly baby, after 10 days of round-the-clock care and many sleepless nights.
Every day she became more and more active, her appetite improved.
Little Tabby has recovered well over time. She continued to eat for pleasure, flaunting her round stomach after each meal.
