Mononoke came to our rescue alongside her two siblings after we received a call from a homeowner who had spotted the kittens in her backyard. Normally, when kittens are found outdoors, we ask homeowners to leave food out, observe from a distance, and let us know if the mother cat returns.

What immediately concerned us was that while Mononoke happily played with leaves and explored her surroundings, her two siblings appeared confused and remained in the exact same spots for hours. When one of our volunteers arrived to assess the situation, our fears were confirmed—both kittens appeared to be completely blind.

The volunteer quickly secured all three kittens and waited to trap their mother. Once the family was safely together, they were brought to one of our foster homes. Mom was later spayed, vaccinated, and returned to the yard where she had been living and cared for alongside her feline friends.

While Mononoke only had a mild upper respiratory infection, her siblings were fighting for their lives. We are incredibly grateful that the homeowner contacted us as soon as she noticed them.

Today, Mononoke is a happy, healthy, and incredibly affectionate little girl. She is full of kitten energy, loves attention, and has never met a stranger. Raised in a foster home with a toddler, she has received plenty of love and socialization and is wonderfully comfortable around people.

We would love to see Mononoke adopted with one of her siblings, but she can also be adopted into a home with another young, playful pet she can bond with. She may also be paired with any of the other kittens currently available through our rescue.

If you're looking for a sweet, playful, and loving companion, Mononoke may be the perfect addition to your family!
