Beatrice (Bea)

Little Beatrice (“Baby Bea”) was born on May 2, 2024, along with her two sisters and two brothers under a chicken coop. When she was barely two weeks old Bea’s Mama left her kittens and something happened because she didn’t come back. The neighbors heard kittens crying under the coop but there was nothing that they could do….until that night when the babies started to crawl out trying to find food and warmth. It was very cold that week especially for May. Baby Bea’s eyes were barely opened…and she was so tiny. She was the littlest one and looked much smaller and younger than her sisters. She wasn’t able to follow the others out and had to be pulled out of the wet muddy area where the kittens were living under the coop. She was so cold, wet and starving. Her litter mates were also barely able to walk…wet, cold and hungry. When PetPromise arrived after hearing about these kittens, little Beatrice was being pulled out from under the coop crying. The was almost stiff she was so cold. One of her brothers had died before we arrived…and the second little boy died as we raced to get them help. For the first 7 days after they were rescued we didn’t know if any of the three little girl kittens would live. And we were most worried about Baby Bea. She was so much smaller and weaker than her siblings. They were all starving and weak…too weak to drink from a bottle…they had to be syringe fed. Every day we held our breath hoping they would hang on fur another day and grow…and they did. But they have survived and are growing daily. Little Bea is still the runt of the litter and is still refusing to eat anything but a bottle…she is so little! She is a precious love bug. When you meet her you can’t help but fall in love. She is so tiny but has the biggest personality. Bea looks like a micro mini little black bear. We all love her and know that she is going to make someone very happy! She loves being held and with people. She must sleep with a person! Beatrice is the most special kitten we’ve ever known. As a bottle fed baby...people are her life...she thinks she is a person and she loves all people like they are her Mom.
