A young couple noticed a little feral kitty on the roadside in the heavy rain. They instantly stopped their car and ran to retrieve the little kitten.
Meet Mizu!
“When we noticed her she was on a grass lawn in front of a closed auto shop. She was walking toward those pillars on the left,” Kylan Ames told Love Meow.
Kylan and his girlfriend Alysse Banta came upon this small kitten, entirely wet in rain water. They couldn’t tell what colored fur she had at the time, and the kitty was scared when they tried to come to her.
“When we first noticed her she was definitely on the run from something.”
They took her up, brought her into their car, and it was then they spotted that her lip was injured and the tiny kitty was shaking and completely exhausted.
“She sat in Alysse’s hands until we got to the vet she worked at,” Kylan said.
Alyssa kept the kitty close to her and comforted her along the trip. Mizu was very quiet but was glad to be saved.
“She used the litter box without any help on the first day.”
Mizu was quiet and slept through her first day at her foster home, so her body could heal.
“She had some eye issues and upper respiratory infection. She wasn’t meowing, and didn’t meow the whole first day,” Kylan said.
They dried the kitty up with a towel and put her in a nice bed filled with warm, soft blankets. The resident cat P-Kitty came to check on her new buddy.
Then unexpectedly she began to meow and just kept meowing.
Mizu discovered her new-found energy and she was so excited that she wanted to play and explore.
“She was given eye drops for her goopy eye, put on antibiotics for an upper respiratory infection, and some wound gel for her lip,” Kylan told Love Meow.
Her infected eye was looking much better, as well as her lip.
” Only one week later, it was almost impossible to tell she was even injured at all.”
The small kitty was still very little but she had a personality that was larger than life.
“This shall be my blanket now.”
They got her new toys and she truly loved them!
Napping with her rescuer was her favorite thing to do.
Kylan didn’t have the heart to move when Mizu fell asleep on his arm.
“A several weeks after that, she was taken to her new forever home, where she now lives with two older cats,” Kylan told Love Meow.
“She’s very playful and energetic.”

It’s been a month since they noticed her in the pouring rain. The kitty was in poor shape and so tired she couldn’t move, but after only one day, the tiny kitty really came around.
Now she has a permanent lap to sleep in every day. Mizu is loved and happy.
