Just skin and bones and extremely underdeveloped two sisters are rescued in the nick of time but the odds were still very much against them.
The tiny pair were brought to Sara Tiedeman, a veterinary technician in the hopes of giving them the best chances of survival.
It became clear to Sara that almost as soon as they arrived one kitten was on the edge of an imminent downward spiral. To still be alive at all meant that the tiny grey had an incredible will to live.
“I had to tube-feed her for a couple of days before she could figure out how to latch,” said Sara.
Sara immediately began around the clock care to at least give them a chance and soon gave them names, Brave, the tiny tabby, and Wild, the grey.

The siblings were there for each other right from the start and were soon making progress. Once Wild had regained enough strength she rolled onto all four paws and began letting everyone know how she felt in a rather forceful manner.
Her emaciated body was soon filling out with regular meals, and before long she could stand on her own like any other healthy kitten her age.
Whenever Sara would arrive for feeding time, Wild was the first one demanding to be fed.
Within a week the siblings had made a complete turn around with tiny personalities beginning to emerge.
Both demanding cuddles at every opportunity.
Though making huge strides, Wild was still behind other kittens her age. At three weeks of age, she was still the size of a 2-week old kitten.
This didn’t seem to slow her down though, meal times were her favorite time of the day, and she did her best to make sure she was first. This was of course followed by a cuddle.
Soon Wild and her sister were smashing every milestone one after the other and found themselves in a suite all of their own.
“They were dealt a tough hand, but they are absolutely thriving,” said Sara.
“Brave likes to nestle into my pants hammock while Wild is all over the place! They are such opposites with their personalities.”
Wild was soon embracing her name as her super-charged personality and energy levels continued to increase.
“Wild is perpetually ready to party and Brave is perpetually ready to snuggle.”
Both Wild and Brave will soon be ready to start the next step in forever homes all of their very own.
