A Chance Encounter

A young, blind kitten named Echo was brought to a city shelter after being found on the streets. Treated for a severe eye infection, her sight couldn’t be saved, but her life was spared. Volunteers from Saving Grace Rescue stepped in, eager to find her a foster home.

Echo’s resilience was evident as she adapted to her new world, relying on her other senses. When Joyce, a dedicated foster volunteer, picked her up from the shelter, she was greeted by a curious and spirited kitten ready to explore her surroundings.

Before Echo’s arrival, another kitten named Itty Bitty had already found refuge in the foster home. Rescued with a fractured leg, Itty Bitty was on a journey of healing and comfort, unaware that her life was about to intertwine with Echo’s.

An Unlikely Friendship

Echo’s excitement was palpable when she heard the paw-steps of Itty Bitty. She dashed towards her new friend, eager for a playful introduction. The two kittens instantly bonded, tumbling and wrestling as if they had known each other all their lives.

“They started playing with each other right away on the first day,” Joyce shared, watching the instant connection between the two.

Echo followed Itty Bitty everywhere, her blindness never hindering her enthusiasm. They created endless antics, playing non-stop until exhaustion set in, only to cuddle up together for a well-deserved nap.
