Twin kittens getting a fresh start welcomed another cat into their crew, leading to the sweetest bond.
Button and truffleAngela
Just three weeks old, Button and Truffle, the kittens, were found outside without their mother and in urgent need of bottle feeding. Angela, a care volunteer, stepped in to take care of them.
The first few days were challenging as the twins struggled with stomach problems and needed supportive care. Angela bottle-fed them around the clock, even tube-fed Button when he lost his appetite.
Through her devoted care, they perked up, mastered the litter box, and found comfort in each other’s hugs.

“Even though they weren’t feeling well, they still loved to purr and meow when they saw people,” Angela shared.
After a week of intensive care and many sleepless nights for their foster mother, the kittens returned with renewed energy and hearty appetites. Soon they were back to their usual playful selves.

Once the kittens were fully weaned, Angela breathed a sigh of relief and was finally able to get some well-deserved rest.
The twins blossomed into loving, playful kittens who followed their foster mother everywhere. On their first adventure beyond their room, they bravely took the stairs. One of them paused and looked back to encourage his brother to follow suit.

While caring for the twins, Angela was informed of a little ginger tabby, all alone and eager for a companion.
Abraxos, the ginger, was orphaned at just three days old and brought to the Yolo SPCA, where he was hand-raised from the start. Having been fed by humans all his life, he became attached to them and constantly sought their attention.

“As he got older, we knew he needed friends his own age to play with and to teach him appropriate cat behavior,” Angela Love told Meow.
Believing it would be a good match, they introduced Abraxos to the twins, who were about his age. The ginger, who had never met another kitten his size, was a little hesitant at first.

“There was quite a bit of wheezing and puffy tails the first night.” But the next day, the dynamic changed completely.
Despite the excitement the day before, a good night’s sleep did wonders. They woke up playing together as if they had been best friends all along.

Abraxos warmed up to the twins, snuggling with them and gently cleaning their faces. He zoomed around with Button as Truffle scrambled to keep up.
“Since Truffle is about 200 grams smaller than both of them, he usually likes to watch (from the sidelines).”

Button took Abraxos under his wing, guiding him and teaching him the ways of a cat. “They are about the same size and both very playful. They match each other’s energy perfectly.”
One morning, Angela walked in to find the three of them snuggled together, a sight that instantly melted her heart. “They have the smallest box to squeeze into.”

With two feline friends to romp around with, Abraxos no longer feels lonely. All three were orphans, but now they have just what they need: each other’s warm and playful company.
“When it’s nap time for the kittens, they often choose to sleep and cuddle together. It’s really heartwarming to see them become best friends.”
Angela
Given a second chance, these kittens have thrived and grown into beautiful young cats. The twins have a new brother, and the tabby will never sleep alone at night.
