Kitten with 'Funnel Chest' is Half the Size But Has Brave Endearing Personality
A kitten with a congenital condition is just half of weight he should be. But what he lacks in size, he makes up for in personality.
Tiny Tim the kittenSheets Pet Clinic
Tiny Tim the kitten was brought into the foster/adoption program at Sheets Pet Clinic (an animal hospital and spay-neuter clinic in North Carolina) because he had a chest bone deformity and needed specialized medical attention.
“He was one of the eight kittens born to a very young mom. The people who found his mom and siblings thought he was the runt and wasn’t growing,” Sarah Hodges at Sheets Pet Clinic shared with Love Meow.
Tiny Tim is eight weeks old weighing only 13 ounces, with the body of a 4-week-old kitten. He has been diagnosed with pectus excavatum (also called funnel chest), a condition in which the breastbone sinks into the chest.

Family Devastated After Their Lost, Microchipped Puppy Was Adopted By Someone Else
A family in Houston, TX is devastated after their lost puppy was found and turned into a rescue – only to be adopted out to someone else.
According to Click2Houston, the little maltese poodle named Byron had escaped their owner’s yard on New Year’s Eve in 2019, two years after they got him.
The family was devastated and did everything they could to find their missing dog, including marking him as missing on their microchip app and posting on Nextdoor, Ring, and other local platforms.
Despite his microchip being marked as missing, the family was never notified when Byron was found. Instead, the rescue that found him adopted him to another family and wiped his microchip clean!

A two-day old kitten was brought to a local shelter in Phoenix, Arizona, in need of help. He was missing a paw as one of his hind legs was found tangled in straw.
The shelter didn’t have the resources to keep the kitten, so volunteers sent out a plea for help. “I saw a post on Facebook calling for a rescue to pull the kitten from the shelter,” Shelbi Uyehara, founder of Jin’s Bottle Babies, told Love Meow.
She dropped everything and rushed to pick up the kitten. After an hour drive to the shelter, the tabby was brought to safety just in time.

Grieving Papa Swan Parents His Babies Alone In Heartbreaking Viral Photo
Like most babies, young swans — or cygnets — depend on their mothers for their survival. Mother swans keep their little ones cozy and safe, teach them to find food and swim, and carry them on her back to stay warm until their feathers grow in.
So, when a resident swan sadly passed away in Boston, her untimely death threw the fate of her 6 ducklings in question. Indeed, without their mother to protect them, one cygnet quickly drowned. Another reportedly had to be rescued by animal control.
Fortunately for the surviving cygnets, father swans aren’t slouches, either. Though they traditionally spend time guarding their territory against feathered rivals, these baby swans were lucky to have a doting dad willing to step up and shoulder the parenting duties after his mate passed away.
According to the Charles River Esplanade Association, which maintains the riverfront … Read the rest
Twelve Dead Whales Have Washed Up On Shore In Northern California This Year; Stronger Regulations Are Needed To Save Them
Photo By: Barbie Halaska, NOAA Permit #18786
Conservation groups and concerned citizens gathered at Crissy Field Beach in San Francisco earlier this week to honor 12 dead whales that have washed up on shore in the Bay Area so far this year. It is believed that at least four died from ship strikes.
“Dead whales washing up on Bay Area beaches is a wake-up call. We answered that call at this event by demanding action to address ship strikes, entanglement in fishing gear, and climate change,” said Steve Jones with the Center for Biological Diversity, in a statement. “Whales are essential to healthy oceans because they spread nutrients and store carbon. The more we can do to protect them as their populations recover, the better off we will all be.”

Two orange tabbies found themselves at a rural shelter in southern Indiana, in need of rescue. The facility didn’t have the space or resources to keep them, and that’s when ARPO, an animal rescue in Indianapolis, stepped in to help.
“A wonderful lady saved them and took care of them for a few days until they could hitch a ride in transport to make their way to us,” Lori White, a foster volunteer of ARPO, shared with Love Meow.
The feline siblings named Frances and Johnny were very underweight and had upper respiratory infections. Despite it all, they were so happy to be in a home environment and have someone to cater to them.

The Kitten with the Wrong Name

One fall day while my husband was working in the backyard, he saw a little brown and grey animal dart from its hiding place when he got too close with the edger and run underneath our flower bush. It turned out to be a tiny brown, black and grey tabby.
We already had two rescue cats who were brothers who were quite a bit bigger than this tiny kitten and we were afraid they would kill her, so we set up a nice house for her outside and fed her. We hoped her mom would come back to get her. The mother was not found. We think she did as so many mother cats do… take their weaned kittens on a … Read the rest
