Kendera White was out for a morning jog when a bird fell from the sky and landed right next to her. When she arrived at the location where the animal had fallen, she was taken aback to see it was a tiny newborn kitten with his eyes still closed.
Kendera realized she couldn’t abandon the infant. So she stuffed the kitten into her sports bra and rushed him to Matt Smith Vets in Chesterfield, where he would be cared for and adored.
“I saw something drop through the air on my left and then I heard an extremely high-pitched meow, and I’m a bit of a cat nut, so I knew it was the sound of a kitten right away,” White explained.
“Then I noticed a small grey object on the floor, about the size of a golf ball.” I figured it had to be a bird of prey, and there was no way I’d be able to figure out where he came from.”
When the kitten arrived at the veterinarian’s clinic, he had already consumed a whole bottle of milk. Thankfully, he was remarkably unscathed, with only minor bruises. “It’s incredible he didn’t break any bones, but they’re quite malleable when they’re young.” It was a lucky day for him!”
Sky was his name, and he was given to Matt Smith Vets. He now shares his home with four other week-old stray kittens. “We named him Sky because that’s where he came from!” said Sue Crisp, a receptionist at Matt Smith Vets.
“He now has four brothers from another mother, which is fantastic; they’re chubbier than him and have wide eyes, whereas he still has closed eyelids,” Ms. Crisp continued. He’s stunning, and he’s doing great.”
We are overjoyed to learn that Sky is living the life he deserves at Matt Smith Vets.
