Lucky
Location: Syracuse, NY, USA
Lucky found us when she was just three days old. A family friend had been telling us about a mama cat and her babies, there were originally seven. One didn’t make it, and she gradually started moving the remaining kittens. She moved the first three, and then two more. We were waiting and waiting to hear that she came back for Lucky & the news never came. We waited as long as possible, hoping that she would come back, and when she didn’t I nervously decided to take her in. I had never hand raised a newborn kitten, and it was a scary task! I just knew I had to give her a chance. The original plan was to keep her until she was old enough to be adopted, since we already have 3 cats. Within about five minutes of knowing her, that idea went out the window! I knew that she was my baby! So many peopl e told me that Lucky probably wouldn’t make it, that the mother cat abandoned her for a reason, etc. Here it is, almost two weeks later, and both vets that have seen her were surprised at how healthy she is! Although her name is Lucky, I have realized that I am actually the lucky one! She has brought so much happiness into our home, and she has me wrapped around her little paw already!

Pounce (very gently)
My 2nd pounce!!!!!
Lucky is absolutely adorable definitely COA material. Love her tortie “onesie” and how her teensy tongue looks like she can clean her sweet face with one lick.
Terrific that you are raising her and as you so aptly phrased it theluck goes both ways. And lest I forget:
FUZZ be a lady tonight
Awww so sweet!!! So tiny! So adorable. Hug her gently for me!
With a little Lucky, everyone’s a winner!
With her tiny paws, Lucky looks like she’s going to be a mini-tortietabbytuxie.
OMG!!! If there’s a Nobel Prize for extreme cuteness, this deserves it! I love the tongue sticking out!! Lucky is lucky and you are lucky to have Lucky.
How lucky of you to have each other! Lucky is really cute!
Too precious…THUD! Thank you for hand raising Lucky, she will thank you for many years to come.
Such a sweet story! I am a bit misty over this one
Sounds like Lucky is exactly that! For a three day old kitten to survive the harsh streets of NY without a mother was practically impossible…without this amazing rescue operation she most certainly would not have lasted another day, much less hours, who knows! Thank you so much for taking her in and loving her with all of your heart. You are her angel of mercy!
Aww, adorable. I wouldn’t be able to give her away either.^ ^
Aw, just luv purry stories with happy endings! Kudos for you as being there for her! Smoochies with scritches for wee fuzz Lucky as better days ahead in furever family. Hey cutie patootie, wakey wakey for you are our survivor Star-kit today at TDK!
Absolutely adorable little girl! May she and your family have a long happy life together!
Bless you for rescuing Lucky, wishing you happy and healthy returns.
Lucky is one Sweetie-Patootie! Bless you for watching out for Lucky and rescuing her before it was too late. I saw someone with a bumper sticker that read: “My rescue cat saved me.” Funny how that works.
Bless you for keeping track of mama kitty’s kitten move and realizing that Lucky was left behind so you could be her new mama and take such excellent care of her. Such a tiny wee little girl. She’d have me wrapped around her paw too:) Many happy years with your new furchild!
I hope when the time comes, she dies of old age. And through her whole life you and she will be able to share your love.
I don’t have the words to describe the sweetness of this picture or the relationship it illustrates. God bless you both.
Thank you for taking on the task raising the little furbaby! no doubt, you are her angel! Bottle feeding, you two will develope such a strong bond. Keep doing what you’re doing!

PS- The second I saw Lucky’s picture, I got hit with such a flood of emotions, remembering all of my bottle babies. Thank you for bringing back many wonderful memories. God Bless!
Thank you all for your kind words!! Lucky and I are very excited that she was chosen as the kitten of the day!!
So glad Lucky is safe & taken care of with you. Blessings of health & happiness always to this wee one.
Kuddos to you for taking on the raising of a newborn! Lucky is a beautiful baby, many happy years to you both!

Thank you for saving this wee precious soul. Feral cat stories are so sad, poor mama and all those babies don’t have much to look forward to, but Lucky certainly does! Many gentle cuddles and treats to her
