Kitten with Enlarged Heart Finds New Home
A white kitten named Big Heart was surrendered to a pound after being described as defective because of a congenital heart condition that causes an enlarged heart. The director of Love Your Feral Felines rescued him and arranged for a neutering procedure, which the kitten survived. He also endured an hour-long trip to a foster home run by Heather T. of The 2 Pound Kitten Club.
In foster care, Heather manages his activities to keep his environment peaceful. He can still enjoy gentle kitten playtime, such as chasing a string, but he self-regulates to avoid overexertion. He is calm, mellow, and affectionate, with soft fur and a sweet purr. Although he was initially uneasy around the foster home dogs, he later became friendly with them.
Big Heart’s heart condition remains a serious concern and will continue to be part of his life. The rescue team plans to find a family that understands his medical needs and can provide ongoing care when he is ready for adoption. Heather promises that whether his journey lasts fifteen years or fifteen days, his time will be filled with comfort, happiness, and love.
