A tabby kitten fell in love with her new sister when she came to her forever home.
She’s been guarding her every day since.
Ariel, a mother of two girls, was looking to adopt a cat when she came across Beth Stern’s fostering program.
“On a whim, we emailed Beth to see if we might be a possible forever family fit. After an extensive interview, we found out we were approved and were told we would be receiving Joy and Treasure because Beth believed they would do well in a home with young children,” Ariel told Love Meow.
The kittens were born to a rescued cat in foster care. At two months old, they arrived at their new abode where their human sisters, Bree and Mayson, awaited them.
“Bree was still a baby herself, so it was very important to me to teach her how to care for them, pet them, be kind to them.”
Ariel made sure that the kittens were safe and guiding the girls along the way.
Even as a kitten, Joy was fearless. She loved everyone but immediately took a liking to Bree. She snuggled next to her and fell fast asleep.
“Joy and Bree have had a strong connection since the beginning. It’s as if Joy knows Bree is a toddler and understands she means well and loves her,” Ariel told Love Meow.
“She is the most patient, loving cat I’ve ever met.”
