A Good Samaritan from Montreal, Canada came across a listing about a kitten being given away. The young tabby was in poor shape and desperately needed rescue. The kind person reached out to her local rescue, Chatons Orphelins Montréal, for help.
"We had to get the kitten right away because he was not doing well. We wanted to make sure that he would receive the medical care he needed, and would not fall into the wrong hands," Chatons Orphelins Montréal shared with Love Meow.
With help from volunteers, they were able to get the kitten to safety. The tabby cried throughout the car ride to the rescue. He was a bit rough around the edges but showed a strong will to live.
As soon as he arrived, he calmed down and just wanted to be petted.

The kitten was just skin and bones, covered in fleas and had a host of health issues to sort out. Despite it all, he purred nonstop while being cared for at the vet. He was so hungry that he leapt over his food bowl and scarfed down every morsel.
"We named him Spencer. After having his first treatments, he went to his foster home with our volunteer Marielyne," the rescue added.

Little Spencer quickly adjusted to the new environment and immediately sought attention and affection from his foster mom. He would curl up next to her for comfort while turning his purr motor on high.
The tabby boy discovered Cat TV one day and just kept going back for more feline entertainment. "He likes to sleep in the sun on the window sill, is curious and likes to watch all the moving things from the outside."

Over the next several days, his eyes cleared up, his tummy felt much better, and he really filled out by eating to his heart's content at every meal.
Spencer blossomed into the happy, fluffy kitty that he was meant to be.

Not only did he relish finding new toys to play with, but also he was excited to meet other cats. When he was introduced to the resident kitties, he immediately took a liking to them and followed them everywhere around the house.
They eat together and often nap as a clowder. The sweet tabby likes to emulate the bigger kitties and tries to learn to be a proper cat.

"Spencer is sweet, gentle and very friendly. He loves other cats and constantly wants to play with them," the rescue shared with Love Meow.
"He enjoys being around people and will come running when he hears their footsteps, and then try to pounce on their feet. After playing, he likes to cuddle with his people and purr himself to sleep."

Despite a rough beginning, Spencer is now the happiest kitty who brings joy to everyone around him. He often can be found sleeping in a basket of clothes or wrapped up in bedsheets as if he's being cuddled.
The sweet kitty likes to give himself a hug when he dreams about good food and a place of his own.
