A kitten found alone under a house has turned out to be an adventure cat who follows people everywhere.

A few months ago, a resident heard faint cries coming from under her house and was surprised to discover a tiny kitten, completely alone.
With no sign of the mother cat returning, the finder brought the kitten inside and tried to bottle-feed her, but she was too weak to eat. That's when Chatons Orphelins Montreal stepped up to help.
They gently warmed her up and placed her in the care of an experienced fosterer, who could provide the round-the-clock attention she desperately needed.

Once her body temperature returned to normal, the kitten, named Kicklee, started to perk up and regain her appetite. To keep up with her feeding schedule, her foster mom took her everywhere in a cozy carrier. Kicklee quickly grew to love being on the move.
After each feeding, she insisted on cuddles and belly rubs, finding comfort in the warmth of human touch.

As she grew stronger, she became even clingier—burrowing under her foster mom's shirt for extra snuggles and drifting off to the sound of her heartbeat. Naturally curious, she was drawn to the new sights around her.
Her adventurous spirit began to shine through. She wanted to be wherever her people were.

Once she transitioned to solid food, her growth took off, and so did her energy. She began tagging along with her foster mom for picnics, grocery runs, and even trips to the office.
Sometimes, she perched on the back of the chair, her eyes darting around the room as if she were "supervising." Other times, she sprawled across a desk, watching people click away at their keyboards with fascination.

"She is a little adventurer who loves to travel, whether it's by car or even by bike to the park."
Brimming with personality and just the right amount of sass, Kicklee has a way of getting exactly what she wants. She divides her day between wild bursts of play and snuggle time with her people.

She even goes for walks around town, often stopping for ice cream with her foster mom. From her perch atop her carrier, she watches the world go by like a queen surveying her kingdom.
To her, anything can become a toy—paper towels, socks, and even your toes. She pounces with the fierceness of a lion cub, only to melt into cuddles seconds later.

If you wave a feather wand, she'll come charging at full speed. She's a little huntress.
And like any true diva, she sets the rules for affection. "She decides when she wants affection and when she doesn't. You can't force her, but when she's in the mood, she climbs into your lap and melts (like butter)."

Kicklee has become a nonstop source of joy and amusement. She races around the apartment often with a toy clutched in her mouth, or wrestles the feather duster like it's her prey. When she finally wears herself out, she turns into the ultimate cuddle bug.
"She'll curl up on us and purr like a little tractor. If she wants attention, she'll gently nudge our hand with her head."

From a tiny, lonely kitten to a stunning young cat with a big personality, Kicklee has come a long way. At almost five months old, she already has the heart of a seasoned adventurer and the soul of a loyal companion.
