He then allowed her to put him in a basket and carry him home. Dee named the cat Rufus. He wasn’t doing too well, as he was covered in fleas and dirt, and his fur was matted. After cleaning him, Dee brought the kit to the vet, where he was treated for worms, fleas, and dehydration.
It took a while after that, but Rufus slowly gained weight and became stronger, and soon, his personality began to shine.
Dee posted pictures of Rufus on line to see if anyone would adopt him. But Rufus got so attached to her, and she to him, that in the end, she couldn’t give him up.
Since then, Rufus has become best friends with the resident cat and has also gained an extra little brother. It’s only been six months, but he’s happy and living a great life with his new loving family!
What a difference such a short time can make! Share away, people!
