Kitty the ResQter

Just looking at me, you would think I’m an adorable kitten.


And it’s true, I am.

But, I’m more than cute, I’m a surrogate mother to squirrels.


When they are very tiny, they don’t try to run away, so you can cuddle them all you like, even when you get distracted by a strange noise or flicker of light.



One day, my little friend will be big and frolic in the trees. He won’t have the time to let me groom him. I’m making the most of it right now.


This takes ResQte to a WHOLE NOTHER LEVEL, Star Foxy!
