Any cat can face hardships, and all desire a safe environment. This especially applies to the rescue felines who crave affection and safety. A viral video shows a rescue kitten named Beatrice finally feeling safe. A user named @phoenixferals took to their Instagram to share this heartwarming moment. The account covers the adventures of a Rescue cat and foster mom.
Rescue kitten finally lets her guard down, knowing she’s safe with human
In the above-mentioned video, the feral rescue kitten feels safe in her mom’s presence. The orange cat received a flea bath, eventually making her comfortable. The video sees the feline wrapped in a white towel like a baby. Beatrice also appears teary-eyed as if she never expected to feel safe in a human’s arms. Moreover, she gets some soft scratches while being wrapped in a towel.
For the unversed, a flea bath is done to kill existing fleas and wash away the flea feces. As bathing is cold and stressful for cats, a flea bath should be done carefully to make sure they feel safe. It appears Beatrice’s mom followed these instructions to ensure comfort. Since the orange cat is still a kitten, extra care is needed. The paw parent added to the clip that this was the exact moment the rescue feral realized she was safe. She also explains in the caption how the bath resulted in Beatrice socializing.
“Who would’ve thought that a flea bath would be the key to socializing baby Beatrice?” she wrote. The cat mom continued, “She’s been one of the most skittish of the kitten litter I took in, but she was so cooperative and trusting during her bath.” It appears Beatrice is looking forward to a long nap after the safe bath. Netizens shared their reaction, with one saying, “as a cat mom- this made me cry. as someone who has never felt this kind of safety- this also made me cry.” Another user commented, “Her sleepy eyes i can’t.” A third one wrote, “She was probably so relieved to finally feel clean, poor thing.”
