A family cat took over parenting duties for an abandoned kitten and never left his side.

Early this month, Amy was contacted by one of her neighbors about an abandoned kitten needing help. She had previously rescued a kitten, and word got out. When another cat in need was found, the neighbor reached out to her.

She picked up the orange tabby named Kurt and immediately started supplying heat. "I warmed him up on a heating pad and gave him a bottle," Amy told Love Meow.

One of her friends, Melissa, offered to foster the kitten when Amy had to leave town. Little did she know that Kurt was about to receive the warmest reception at home.

"When we got him, he weighed just seven ounces. His ears weren't up all the way, and he was really dehydrated. He was entirely dependent on us for everything," Melissa told Love Meow.

"The next morning after he had some kitten formula, he started to look and act a lot better."
