The San Jose Animal Care Center received a tiny, motherless kitten. A staff member, Tram Bui, who helped establish a rescue group called Mini Cat Town, contacted its volunteers to find someone willing to take him in.

Mini Cat Town’s Laura Malone, an expert in handling newborn kittens, came forward to lend a hand.

Laura shared with Love Meow that she had the space and willingness to help the baby, as no one else was available. The little one, being a single bottle baby, required considerable attention, which is why it is usually rescued last. Nonetheless, Laura gave him a home and took on the responsibility of feeding him every two hours.

Frito grew and became more lively every day, thanks to the constant bottle feedings and affectionate cuddles he received 24/7. He was a social kitten who craved attention and playtime, never wanting to be left alone.

Realizing the importance of having a companion, they made the decision to acquaint him with a group of foster kittens who were of the same age as him. As he started craving for more playtime which his peers couldn’t provide, they introduced him to their senior foster kittens.

Laura shared with Love Meow that she had concerns about the older kittens being too rough with the new kitten. However, to her surprise, they were extremely gentle and welcoming towards him. Frito, who is four weeks old, was introduced to Burberry and Ralph, who are eight weeks old. Ralph took an instant liking to Frito and even began grooming him.

The little ginger boy may be smaller than his older siblings, but he’s always eager to learn from them and imitate their play. His siblings, Ralph and Burberry, seem to be aware of his size and are gentle with him. However, the little one enjoys watching them play and often copies their movements, like their crab walks.

While Frito dozes off inside his warm incubator, Ralph stands vigilantly at the door, keeping watch over him and making sure he’s safe. The two pups have a special bond and absolutely adore their newest addition to the family.

Frito is making great progress day by day. He loves snuggling up in Laura’s lap and observing his older siblings playing around. Once a lonely soul, he now has all the company he needs within the house.
