Kitten Arrives as Orphan Eager for Warmth, and Finds Cat Who Doesn’t Hesitate to Take Him in

“He quadrupled his weight in less than three weeks and started to turn silver with what’s called a ‘fever coat.’ Fever coat kittens are usually born silvery after their mothers were sick while pregnant, but sometimes kittens can develop it after they’ve had a bit of a tough time.”

Sirius looks as if he is wearing smokey silver highlights on his coat. As he gets older, his fur will eventually turn back to his gorgeous black.

Because Sirius needed extra care to help him stay on track, he developed a special connection with his foster carers.

“We knew he would be a people kitty from early on, and he just loves coming over for a cuddle and was the first to work out how to climb into a lap.”

At seven weeks old, the kittens are thriving and growing by leaps and bounds. Mama Cassie has taken a backseat and is spending more me-time, trying to recuperate, gain weight, and focus on herself.

Sirius is still the smallest one of the bunch, but what he lacks in size, he makes up for in personality. “He always zeros in on us when we enter the room, pretty much tripping us up if not outright lying on our feet, in our lap whenever we sit down,” the rescue added.

“He flops, rolls and purrs automatically for belly tickles, and is not afraid to use his voice if he thinks you’re ignoring him.”

Sirius has blossomed into a gorgeous mini panther kitty with stunning silver highlights. “He’s amazed everyone with his growth and how healthy he is, never taking a backwards step, and is now not much smaller than some of his siblings.”

“All the extra love and care that went into Sirius in his early weeks of life, seem to have turned him into the most lovable little guy ever.”

Sirius may be small but he is full of sass. He plays as if he were much bigger and taller, tackling even the biggest brother. He is completely fearless and tries to play-fight with the resident dog who is a sweet, gentle giant.

After an incredible ride, Sirius, the little wonder cat, is ready to find his forever home, and live out his life as a king, being loved and spoiled.
