In the quiet beneath a house, two tiny ginger kittens named Ruby and Max found themselves in a predicament. Their mother was nowhere to be found, and their distressed cries caught the attention of a kind-hearted homeowner.
Recognizing their need for care, the homeowner reached out to Best Friends Animal Rescue of Northwest Arkansas, setting in motion a journey of love and care for these adorable kittens.
A Foster Journey Begins with Paws of Oz
Understanding the special needs of these tiny felines, Best Friends Animal Rescue enlisted the help of Paws of Oz. The kittens required a foster home equipped with a skilled caregiver who could provide bottle feeding and nurturing.
Holly Brookhouser, the head of Paws of Oz and a seasoned foster mom, couldn’t resist their charm. “They needed a bottle feeder, so I took them in. I couldn’t say no,” she shared with Love Meow.
