Meet Clove, a lovely gray kitten who arrived at Baby Kitten Rescue in Los Angeles, California, at the age of 10 days. Clove was in desperate need of assistance, but she was discovered just in time.
Caroline Grace, the founder of Baby Kitten Rescue, said: “She was found on a Thursday night all alone. The finders waited for the cat mama, but sadly, she never returned.”

Clove was in critical condition; she had fleas on her body, a large scab under her right armpit, and a severe infection. Caroline, determined to save her, took Clove in and started a critical care protocol to get her back to health. She stated:
“Clove was severely dehydrated and crying nonstop in pain from her stomach problems.”

Clove felt much better after just a few hours of antibiotics, fluid therapy, and other supplements.
Clove began purring as soon as she regained her energy and grasped her human’s hand with her front paws. Clove, despite being small and young, demonstrated a cuddly purr machine with an incredible will to live.

Ana, a rescue volunteer, decided to take over Clove’s treatment and round-the-clock feedings as soon as she met him. Ana said: “Within a week, Clove was latching and eating like a champ and blossoming into the silly, spunky, loving girl that she is.”

Despite everything, Clove felt at ease around her rescuers and appreciated all the attention she received.
“She had the loudest, most active purr motor as she snuggled and rolled around happy and full after each feeding.”

Ana later brought Clove to her own home so she could maintain her feeding schedule. Clove fully recovered thanks to the kindness of those who assisted her and the unconditional love and care she received, and her true personality began to shine.

Caroline said: “She was so loved and adored (by everyone she came across), and it was obvious how safe and happy she felt. Ana continued bottle feeding her until, one day, Clove discovered dry food and decided she loved it!”

Caroline added: “Clove is a playful, silly, curious, and sweet little purr monster. Despite her rough condition when she arrived, she has become a brave, adventurous, and loving kitten.”

Clove was finally healthy, happy, and ready for a forever home when she was 10 weeks old. Caroline said: “We found her the perfect home. When her new mom met her for the first time, it was true and immediate love – they had an instant connection.”
Clove couldn’t have asked for a better ending. She was spayed before leaving for her new home, so she could live her life to the fullest.

It makes me happy to know that this little purr machine is now content in her new home, filling the room with her rumbling purrs on a daily basis.
