Chapter 47
The veterinarian carefully examined the kitten, checking its tiny paws, ears, and heartbeat before giving a satisfied nod. "It’s in decent health, just a little weak and malnourished. Make sure to keep it warm and well-fed."
Kai listened attentively while Amelia held the kitten close, her fingers stroking its soft fur. She hadn’t realized how tiny it was until now. It fit perfectly in the curve of her hands, its fragile body rising and falling with each breath.
"It’s lucky you found it in time," the vet added, handing them a small bottle of prescribed vitamins.
Amelia took the bottle, offering a small thanks.
The vet nodded, then looked between the two of them. "Now, if you’re keeping him, you’ll need to note a few things. Make sure it stays warm, and feed it small amounts of milk or soft food. Since it’s young, you’ll need to watch over it carefully for the next few days. It also needs a proper sleeping spot. Kittens need comfort, especially at this stage."
"Thank you, Doctor. We’ll take good care of it," Amelia said as she stroked its fur gently.
Soon, the consultation was over, and they left the clinic. It wasn’t long before they got home.
Amelia glanced down at the kitten, nestled comfortably in her arms. Its tiny head pressed against her wrist, eyes shut in contentment. As soon as the door clicked shut, it peeked up, its green eyes scanning its surroundings.
Amelia set the kitten down on a soft cushion, and after rubbing its paws against the couch for some seconds, it stretched lazily.
Kai crossed his arms, tilting his head. "It needs a bed."
"Yes, it does," Amelia agreed.
