A nine-year-old girl cried tears of pure joy when she returned from a friend’s house and found a tiny little surprise. Marley’s mother, Nikki, brought home a black little kitten that was found under her friend’s porch with her sibling. They believed that the kitten’s mother had been killed on the road. The little black kitty was a mini version of Marley’s best friend Simon the cat, who sadly had passed away a year earlier.
“Marley’s a big animal lover. She’s always putting her change in the donation cans at the pet supply store, and we already have two dogs, two cats and a guinea pig in our family,” explained Nikki. “Our elderly black cat Simon had passed away the year before and she’d been asking for a kitten since.”
The family already had two cats and had no intention of bringing home another…that is until Ella came along.
“I had no intention of bringing another cat home, but…sometimes you just know these things are meant to be.” So Nikki brought little Ella home and placed her in Marley’s room, waiting for her daughter to return. “Marley had NO IDEA, she had come home from a friend’s house and the rest is history!”
