Despite her best efforts, all of her offspring were severely malnourished, leaving her with no alternative choices.

With Cailey’s and momma Coco’s help, the kittens slowly began to turn the corner, while Coco herself was learning for the first time she can love humans.

“She was leaning into love like she had been craving it her entire life,” Cailey said.

The smallest kitten needed more attention from mom than her siblings did.

“Coco was so skinny I was shocked she even kept the babies alive till eight weeks, which was when we got them,” Cailey added. “We noticed that one of the babies, Chanel, was smaller and quieter than the rest.”

Chanel was nothing more than a tiny white bundle of love. Needing extra time with love, she still clung to mom for attention even after her siblings were weaned.

She still nursed from mom, something which was clearly a great comfort to her. And for Coco herself, she didn’t mind one bit. An unbreakable bond had developed between the pair.

“She’s been a wonderfully attentive mom and dotes on Chanel,” Cailey said. “Chanel is often her mom’s mini shadow, but as she has grown, she has really opened up and has quite the personality.”

Now she has a place of safety from which to raise her kittens Coco has become incredibly relaxed, taking naps were where ever and whenever she wants.

Chanel for her part gradually came out of her shell, transforming into a bundle of energy. Well and truly keeping Coco on her toes.

The bond between the pair continues to grow and deepen on a daily basis with Chanel following her mom about her new home wherever she goes.

“Coco on the other hand prefers to kick back and relax. She enjoys love from humans, especially a good neck scratch and belly rub.

Not that Chanel allows her to always do this, but tolerant as ever, Coco is extremely patient.

“She’s been a wonderfully attentive mom and dotes on Chanel,”Cailey says. “Chanel is often her mom’s mini shadow, but as she has grown, she has really opened up and has quite the personality.”

“You can always find these two lovelies curled up next to each other or Chanel running about and mama Coco following right hehind.”
