Tiny Kitten dumped in a box survives the elements and finds a place to call home.
Each year, millions of cats and dogs are abandoned in the U.S. Many of them are left at shelters, but some are dumped on the streets and may or may not survive until help arrives.
Tucker was a tiny kitten who likely wouldn’t have survived being dumped outside had he not been found at the exact moment he was. The poor tiny kitten was left in a box outside a shelter with his siblings, but because of the harsh elements and no access to water, all of the kittens died – except for Tucker.

When staff at the rescue found the box outside, they were heartbroken at what they saw, but they realized Tucker was still alive and rushed him into intensive care. Thankfully, he pulled through and went on to live with a foster mom, Cindy.
In an interview with GeoBeats Animals, Cindy explained that kittens are usually easy to foster when they come in litters with a mom, but they’re a bit harder to manage on their own. While Tucker arrived at her house solo, he wasn’t going to be alone because Cindy also had a slightly older foster cat, Rowen.

Rowen and Tucker were close to the same age and were able to help each other “learn the ropes” of being a cat. They groomed each other, cuddled together, and had a lot of fun playing.
They quickly became like siblings, and Cindy knew she didn’t want to see them separated when it was time for them to move on to their forever homes.

After listing the two cats for adoption, Cindy was relieved to find a home that would accept both Rowen and Tucker. Their new family was so dedicated to adopting them, that they drove over 15 hours one way to pick the cats up!
Now, Tucker and Rowen are living together in a wonderful home, surrounded by family that loves them.

Thank you for sharing Tucker’s heartwarming story. It’s heartbreaking to think of all the animals abandoned every year, but it’s uplifting to see how one tiny kitten overcame the odds and found a loving home. It’s a reminder that every animal deserves a chance at life and happiness.

You’re welcome. I hope through my posts in some small way animals can get better treatment. People need to spay and neuter their pets, a lot of this suffering would be eliminated.

It’s heartwarming to hear that Tucker was able to survive and find a loving home despite being abandoned. It’s a shame that so many cats and dogs are left to fend for themselves. Thank you to the author for sharing this story and shedding light on the issue.

I am also so glad he survived and was able to find the home he needed. More of an effort nefs to be made to have animals spayed and neutered so this overpopulation won’t continue and there won’t be all the stray cats and dogs. Thank you for stopping in today.
