Young boy asks mother cat permission to adopt her baby

PENDER COUNTY, NC (WECT / Gray News) – A kitten adopted from an animal shelter in southeast North Carolina may have hit the jackpot with her new family.

Before making the decision to bring this dwarf home, the little boy made sure to ask the kitten’s mother for permission. He wanted to make sure she would be fine when his family adopted her baby.

Jewell Horton of the Pender County Animal Shelter said the little boy named all the things they had for the kitten and promised to love him.

“It was the most precious thing I have ever seen,” said Horton.

The kitten was a dwarf and only survived a few fights with upper respiratory infections due to its small size, WECT-TV reported.

But with the help of some fighting spirit, the kitten is now in good health.
