Thankfully, a tiny kitten was found by a kind-hearted person.
He quickly brought her to @evhemergencyvethospital, Perth, Australia. After finding out about the tiny tortie Tara quickly took her into her care and began providing her around-the-clock care.
“She is thankfully healthy, but was very underweight for her age coming in at a tiny 263 grams, just shy of being 5 weeks old,” said Tara, founder of The Mad Catters Feline Rescue.
Though tiny for her age, Flick, as she was named, was very cute with a very rare split-faced look. Her finder unfortunately didn’t leave any details other than the area she was found. They are doing the best to track down local colony feeders in the hopes of maybe figuring out where her mumma is.
Sadly, soon after arriving Flick became ill and needed to be treated for kitty flu and parasitic infections. However, unlike most kittens who become quiet when they become ill, Flick became even more vocal. Demanding Tara’s undivided attention, something she had been enjoying from day one.
“It’s been so nice having our little Flickeridoo stay over. It’s pretty clear from her sass that her other foster mum has been spoiling her.”
Flick’s great attitude coupled with Taras’s care meant the tiny feline was soon feeling better. Flick is doing much better but is having a bit of trouble kicking her flu infection. She’s got a lot of catching up to do in terms of growth so she still looks teeny tiny even though she is 12 weeks old now.
Her overpowering personality and extreme cuteness have made Flick the center of attention. Despite her rough start to life, this tiny kitten has overcome every obstacle life has set before her.
‘She has made friends with my dog and even though he is so much bigger, she’s not afraid to waltz up and get a bit cheeky.”
During this time she has grown and is now ready for a home of her very own. The tiny tortie who had to go bin surfing to survive has transformed from a very cute kitten to an outstanding princess.
