Just over a month ago, this little kitten showed up on our doorstep. The security camera showed her making a beeline right up our driveway and onto the porch, where she sat screaming her head off until we heard and opened the door.

She was nothing but bones underneath the matted fluff, but she was immediately friendly and surprisingly trusting. I had been wanting a second cat and my husband jokes that my desire manifested this little one, who we named Sofrito, or Sofi for short. ♥️

I just hope you tried to find the previous owners first. Way too many people seem to just take in random animal without doing that, leaving the previous family devastated in the process...

Oh of course! I kept an eye on the local lost pet listings and had her checked for a microchip, no luck with either.

I don't know how long a young kitten can go without food, but she was extremely skinny, had fleas and worms, and with how matted her fur was with leaves and filth, she really didn't look like she'd been taken care of. 😢

Good job! And it seems that it was lucky that she found you! Good luck with your cat 😊
