Kitten

A five-year-old girl named Scarlett has guided a foster kitten named Rose-now called Birdie-into a new family. The video of the adoption, which has earned more than 3,100 likes, shows Scarlett cuddling the kitten, sharing drawings, and explaining the transition. Rose is healthy, loved, and ready for her forever family. The new owners include young children and another cat, and Birdie is already settling in and showing her usual sweet, confident personality.

Scarlett says caring for Rose helped her become more confident with animals. She also learned that fostering means loving an animal enough to let another family take over seamlessly. The family worked hard to keep Rose safe, healthy, and strong until she found her new home.
