The Heaths have a lovely house, a great neighborhood, and even an adorable, loving dog. It seemed like they had it all until an unexpected guest came “knocking” on their backdoor.

A few months ago, four little kittens suddenly appeared outside Heath’s home. They were drinking water from a bowl left outside.

When the kittens heard someone coming, they ran away from the property. A few days later, Heath heard the cries of a kitten coming from the backdoor. It was one of the kittens from the litter! Since the kitten was skittish, Heath placed a bowl of food by the fence and watched from afar. The kitten snuck under the fence and ate the food.

This went on for several weeks. The kitten would just come, eat, and go. One day, the kitten allowed Heath to pet her. It was the start of a beautiful relationship. Heath decided to make the kitten a permanent part of their family after that.
