Ben and his family in Montreal have established shelters in their yard to provide refuge for community ςats, ensuring they have a safe place to seek shelter from the elements.

In addition to offering food and shelter, they actively work on spaying/neutering the ςats and assisting those in need of rεscue.

During their efforts, they noticed that one of the feral ςats had given birth to kιttens and eventually brought them to their yard. However, the mother ςat abandoned the kιttens and never returned.

When Ben discovered the litter, only one kιtten had survived. The exhausted little feline was curled up in a corner, desperately trying to rest.

“We found this lonely kιtten with crusted eyes sleeping outside in a corner. He was extremely tiny and his vision was impaired. It was clear he wouldn’t have lasted much longer in that condition.”

Without hesitation, the family brought the kιtten indoors to provide warmth and reached out to a local rεscue organization called Chatons Orphelins Montreal for assistance. “We immediately took him under our care and named him Tiluky.”

Tiluky was severely underweight and suffered from a bloated stomach due to parasites. “He was nothing but skin and bones, but he had an incredible spirit.”

The kιtten received treatment for eye, ear, and stomach issues. Initially, Tiluky required assistance to eat as he was too weak to manage on his own.

After each meal, he sought out a source of warmth and snuggled up next to it, indulging in a much-needed healing nap.

With attentive care and nourishing food, Tiluky began to thrive. His appetite improved, and he started gaining weight.

“He wanted our company while eating and constantly sought a warm body to cuddle with. As the only kιtten without littermates, he would gravitate towards the heat source during naptime.”

Once Tiluky fully recovered and was ready for socialization, he was introduced to the other resident ςats in the household. Marscha, a senior ςat, immediately took the young kιtten under her wing.

Celine had adopted Marscha when she was 14 years old, and Marscha has been a loving presence for numerous foster kιttens. At 21 years old, she continues to provide comfort and showers Tiluky with maternal affection.

When Tiluky isn’t seeking attention from humans, he can often be found snuggling or napping with Marscha.

Tiluky also met Tatoo, another foster ςat from the rεscue organization. He approached the older feline with curiosity and began emulating his behaviors, learning valuable feline skills.

Tatoo gladly embraced the role of a mentor and enjoys having a little protege following him around. He patiently teaches Tiluky how to navigate the world as a ςat.

Since being rεscued, Tiluky has been hand-reared and developed a deep affection for humans. He craves their attention and seeks to be held and loved whenever possible.

“Despite his small size, he is bursting with energy. He constantly roams around, staying close to our feet, always looking for and asking for affection.”

After a challenging start in life, Tiluky is blossoming into a playful and affectionate kιtten. He joyfully explores the house, spreading love to everyone he encounters each day, truly living his best life.
