Will, a volunteer with Flatbush Cats, a feral cat rescue in Brooklyn, New York, heard the sound of a kitten meowing loudly behind a trash can. He knew he had to do something to help the kitten, although the rescue was overwhelmed with cats in need of care. Regardless, Will knew this kitten needed him. What he soon realized was the kitten was not alone!
When he found the kitten, Will noted that "He was howling at the top of his lungs from behind a trash can. You could hear him from a block away." He picked the kitten up and brought him to the Flatbush Cats rescue facility. There the kitten, named Sonny, was given a bath and warm food. For a moment, Sonny was purring with joy.
But then the kitten began his howling again, and Will didn't know why the kitten was carrying on. So Will walked back to the area where he found Sonny, and sure enough, there was another kitten! The new kitten looked just like Sonny, and Will was certain that the two cats were brothers. He coaxed the second cat out of hiding and brought him to the rescue.
Sonny's brother was named Sal, and the two kittens were happy to see each other. At once, they both relaxed in each other's presence. Sal even let Will pet him! Soon both kittens were trusting their human rescuers and playing together.
Both Sonny and Sal had serious medical issues that needed attention. "They were treated for giardia, a very common intestinal parasite - especially for kittens rescued from unsanitary conditions," Will said. With time and treatment, both kittens received a clean bill of health.
Now the brothers live together in their forever home, enjoying life, and playing with each other nonstop!​
"Sonny and Sal are thriving in their new forever home! They love bounding through the apartment together and running across mom's face at 5AM every single morning," Will said. "They will never spend another day out in the cold again."
Congrats to Sonny and Sal, and thanks to Will from Flatbush Cats for giving these brothers a life and home together. Share this sweet story with your family and friends on Facebook.
