“She was so little and frail that we wondered if she had a future, but we were determined to aid her in the struggle,” Nikki explains.
The kitten was given the name Rocky and spent her first night in a cozy incubator, enjoying a nourishing meal. Nikki and her husband took turns feeding the baby, ensuring she stayed warm and comfortable. For the first week, Nikki woke up every two hours at night to care for the kitten. Rocky gradually developed an appetite and began to grow.
Daddy Kotov bottle-fed her whenever he could, and every time he looked at the kitten, he couldn’t help but smile.
At 24 days old, Rocky proudly left her nest and moved into a mini-playpen, where she began to develop her leg muscles. The fluffy baby was captivated by an array of new toys and tried to grab them all, despite being a little wobbly. She relished being pampered and insisted on snacks (bottles) all day long.
