A lost kitten sought refuge in a crevice within the wall until a compassionate individual came to her rescue. All she longed for was to be embraced.
Belkie the kitten, also known as Foster Purrs, was discovered by a kind individual outside a shopping center in Huntsville, Alabama. The little tabby was distressed and calling out for help.
Upon being approached, Belkie quickly scurried into a small opening in the wall, avoiding capture. Concerned for the kitten’s safety, the person contacted Mary Chromek, a local animal rescuer, for support.
With a storm looming on the horizon, Mary sprang into action to rescue Belkie before the weather took a turn for the worse. Thankfully, she was able to locate the kitten and bring her to safety.
In the parking lot of Foster Purrs, a mall, a young tabby cat was discovered nestled in a small hole, her head peeking out. Timid yet curious, she watched Mary as she prepared a humane trap baited with pungent, fishy cat food. Mary gazed at the kitten’s inquisitive expression and began to converse with her, aiming to build a connection of trust. With each gentle meow exchanged between them, the kitten appeared to grow more at ease, eventually returning Mary’s soothing gaze with slow blinks.
Mary shared with Love Meow how she managed to rescue Foster Purrs by reaching into a hole in the wall where the kitten was hiding. There was no hissing or resistance when she grabbed the kitten, who allowed her to safely lift her out of the hideout. Despite being scruffed, Foster Purrs started making biscuits in the air, showing that she knew she was now in good hands.
She began gently pawing at the air, feeling safe and secure in Mary’s presence. The little kitten, given the name Belkie after the store where she was discovered, was frail and undernourished but craved affection and was immensely grateful for the care she received. Mary took Belkie under her wing, ensuring that she had nourishment and hydration to help her grow stronger. Despite her initial reluctance to eat much, Belkie was overjoyed when she snuggled up on Mary’s lap, basking in the love and kindness that surrounded her.
Mary went to great lengths to make sure the kitten, Belkie, was well taken care of. She tried different foods to encourage her to eat more and started her on medication until she could see a vet the following day. Belkie’s journey from rescue to indoor life can be seen in a heartwarming video. Belkie quickly adapted to her new environment, enjoying belly rubs and cuddles with Mary. She was described as sweet, needy, and precious, always wanting to be close to her rescuer and exploring her surroundings with curiosity.
Belkie is always looking for love and affection, constantly seeking attention and pets from her foster family. With the help of good food and great care, Belkie was able to bounce back from her stomach problems in just a few weeks. She gained some weight and her energy levels shot up. Although it took some time for her to start eating normally again, Belkie never lost her desire for attention and affection. She simply loves being pampered and adored.
