After a few days of undivided attention, Duchess came over to sit with Renee for the first time since birth, and she kneaded away on a blanket beside her.

She started nursing her kittens next to her foster mom, and was content to get some support and head scritches in the meantime.

No one knows what life was like for Duchess before she was found. But now, she relishes every moment in her comfortable abode and no longer has any worry in her eyes.

She stretches her happy toes constantly as she enjoys the company of her people.
