Jennifer and Taylor’s small family recently increased in size when Taylor’s sister’s cat recently gave birth to a litter of kittens. The entire litter was struggling from the outset because they had been born premature, half the size they should be for newborn kittens. For one kitten, in particular, time was running out!
It was the tiniest kitten that concerned everyone. She was even smaller than her siblings, and in a far worse situation because Mom had stopped feeding her.
Jennifer and Taylor decided to step in and do what they could before it was too late.
They knew how small she was, however, their breath still caught in the back of their throats when they realized they could see her ribs.
Giving her the name Hank they saw how easily she fitted into Taylor’s jacket pocket.
