One of the kittens was much smaller, and despite their very best efforts to save her, she passed away two weeks later. Mama Rosa would cuddle with her remaining kitten, King, day and night as if to give him all love he needed to thrive.

"After that, King really started to thrive, and Mama Rosa started to get more friendly," Jen added.

When Rosa realized that her kitten was in good hands, she began to come out of her shell and interact with her foster family. She never left King's side, watching over him every step of the way.

The dedicated cat mom would stay in her nest all day nursing and caring for her little singleton. When she forgot to eat, Jen would bring food and water to her bed to make sure she was well taken care of.
