The Baby Kitten shelter , located in Los Angeles ( United States ), received a call from an individual who had just found 2 kittens from the same siblings in a box. Volunteer rescuer Jessica took care of them and quickly realized that a powerful bond united them. In illness as in joy, they never stopped supporting each other.

Binx, the little male, and Salem , his sister, were not even 3 weeks old when they arrived at their benefactor. The poor were emaciated, suffered from respiratory tract infections, and were covered in external parasites.

A caring good Samaritan

Jessica first gave them a bath, then fed them. She treated them daily for their various medical problems. Little by little, the siblings regained their strength and slowly climbed onto their feet. It was at this moment that the rescuer noticed an anomaly in Binx ‘s rear limbs . Which were abnormally “ extended ” according to his testimony shared with Love Meow . They spread to either side, preventing him from standing and forcing him to crawl.

This malformation is known as “ swimmer’s syndrome .” Fortunately, as Binx was still young, several sessions of physiotherapy and kinesio taping were enough to heal him. Throughout his rehabilitation, he was able to count on the unwavering support of his sister. She would snuggle up against him when he tried to walk and motivate him to stand up. She never let him down.

“One wouldn’t go far without the other”

Jessica observed with emotion the relationship between her two protégés. They overcame all the challenges together and helped each other grow: “ They taught each other to climb, to explore, to groom each other and to play, ” she testified. She knew she shouldn’t separate them, and when they were old enough to leave her home, she insisted that they stay together.

The kittens therefore both joined the same home for life. Even today, they maintain an incredible bond.
