With her adorable and enchanting demeanor, the cat captured the hearts of compassionate individuals who were eager to lend a hand to her lone kitten. Her face beamed with an irresistible smile of pure

With Scarlet recovering, she was eating like a champ, had a lot more energy and was able to concentrate on raising her little mini-me. The kitten quickly discovered his purr and put it to good use every time he nursed on his mama.

As Scout continued to put on weight and gain strength, he began to waddle and explore. Scarlet would cheer him on with a gentle nudge on his back, as if to tell him to keep going.

At three weeks old, Scout nearly reached the one-pound mark. Scarlet made sure he never missed a meal, and it showed. “He’s big for his age, but I’m not surprised as he’s the only one at the milk bar,” Ashley shared.

As Scout became bigger and more adventurous, Scarlet also found her inner kitten and began to spend more time playing.

“The last few nights as I laid in bed, I could hear something going on in their room.”

Ashley put a camera in and saw Scarlet getting the zoomies and tossing her toys around. Once she wrangled up all the toys, she would carry them back to the nest and shared them with Scout.

“She now has more toys and I can’t wait to give her some more space to play,” Ashley shared with us.

While the kitten works on perfecting his gait, Scarlet is always nearby watching over him. “Scarlet is a great mom and Scout is a very plump happy little boy. She takes such great care of him.”

The sweet mother and son duo is thriving in foster care.

Scarlet has really blossomed since the day she arrived. She enjoys getting her belly rubbed and greets her foster family every day with her signature smile.

Scout is learning how to smile like his mom. “He is so precious and he’s getting more of a personality every day.”
