Jacqueline DeAmor, the founder of a rescue center, was alerted about a helpless kitten in dire need of immediate medical attention. Without any delay, she took the tiny feline to Friends for Life Rescue Network. Despite the long journey of four hours, the rescuer didn’t hesitate and reached the location to pick up the cat. The kitten had a unique feature of a slit snout and mouth, making it even more special.

Jacqueline was determined to save the kitten, who was much larger than a palm and quite fragile. She explained that babies with cleft noses could have additional birth defects, so she kept a close eye on Bonsai’s health. The adorable ball of fur was stable at first, thanks to round-the-clock care, but her condition suddenly worsened, prompting an emergency admission to critical care. According to Jacqueline, it appeared that Bonsai ingested formula while burping in his sleep, leading to pneumonia. Fortunately, medical treatment arrived in time, and Bonsai gradually stabilized over several hours. Jacqueline tightened her grip on Bonsai, and with a combination of oxygen and an incubator, they were able to stabilize her.

Throughout his time at the veterinary clinic, all the volunteers expressed their love and concern for him and his recovery. After a week, he displayed significant improvements, not only eating on his own but also proving to be an affectionate kitten. The carers were moved by his hugging affinity and expressed their joy. Jacqueline described him as the loveliest baby she had ever met, and they cuddled a lot after his meals, where he helped himself burp while caressing her. Despite his small size, this furry ball of love makes up for it with his loud purrs, especially when he is with his favorite person or playing with soft toys. Thanks to Bonsai, his foster mother’s love and care, he has improved a lot. She is a full-time hugger who loves being petted, and her health gets better every day. She grows bigger, and her fur becomes fluffier, occasionally sprouting into an attractive mohawk that she wears proudly. This adorable kitten, despite facing numerous setbacks, is still fighting for her life and showing a lively and friendly personality.
