Aela was just one day old and all alone in someone’s backyard. Her eyes were still closed, and she couldn’t see anything yet. A kind lady heard Aela crying and asked for help on the internet.
A woman named Ashley, who loves to help kittens, saw the message and knew she had to help right away. Even though it was late at night, she put on a mask and gloves and went to get Aela.
The lady who found Aela had kept her warm and tried to find her mom, but the mom cat didn’t come back. This might have been because Aela was born with a cleft nose, which made her different.
Ashley took Aela home and saw that she had a special nose and a small hole in the roof of her mouth. This meant Aela couldn’t drink milk from a bottle; she needed to be fed with a tube.
Ashley knew exactly what to do. She took great care of Aela, and the kitten liked it when Ashley brushed her with a tiny toothbrush. After that, Aela would sleep in Ashley’s hand. She only got up when she was hungry.
Even with her special nose, Aela was growing up just like any other kitten. She knew Ashley’s smell and liked to snuggle in her hands. Ashley felt like Aela knew she was being helped.
After a week, Aela had grown a lot. She was now a chubby little kitten, and Ashley was very happy about that.
This story shows us that even when life can be tough, there are always kind people who can make things better. Aela’s story is about hope, love, and the little joys that come from caring for someone.
