This is Ruthy.

My sister Mary rescued her from a sewer outside her highschool. Ruthy’s mother and siblings had all died and she was left all alone. Mary was able to coax her out with some warm milk and right when she held her in her arms, Ruthy started purring. She was taken to the vet and was said to be malnourished, dehydrated, and suffering from hypothermia. Because of this she missed her critical growth period and will probably stay kitten-sized for good.

Months later, Ruthy now lives in my room. She is happy, healthy, and strong.
