Kitten Goes Around Asking for Attention Until She Finds Another Kitten to Spend Rest of Her Life with
A kitten went around seeking attention from everyone until she found another kitten to spend the rest of her life with.

Penny Richards, a foster carer based in Arlington, Virginia, was contacted about a pair of 4-week-old kittens found on the side of the road. One of them had a congenital defect and was in critical condition, while the other clung to her brother the entire time.
“She was attached to her brother’s side from the moment they were found, as if she knew he was suffering and needed comfort,” Penny told Love Meow.
Despite their very best efforts, the brother couldn’t pull through, and the remaining kitten became a singleton that night. “I named her Koa after she lost her brother, as it means warrior, or brave one, in Hawaiian.”

For a couple of weeks, Koa stayed close to her foster family, demanding attention and pets nonstop.
“She was very energetic and friendly, and a medical exam showed she was healthy. She became very attached to us and people in general,” Penny shared with Love Meow.

“Once we put her into the foster room with the bigger kids, she showed her feisty side and very quickly became the boss of the room – despite her small size.”
Koa walked up to Maggie the tuxedo and showed her that she was in charge.

Huey the orange kitten was twice Koa’s size, but that didn’t bother her. She completely held her own when they wrestled and played together.
Koa enjoyed scampering around the room, wreaking havoc, but she never strayed far from her foster mom’s lap.

“Even when she was playing she was all over my legs, pulling herself up and down my leg with those little daggers. She would run off to chase someone, then come running back and climb on my lap.”
Knowing how much Koa craved a constant companion, Penny was on the lookout for a buddy her size.
