Pouf the kitten may have been born with partial hearing, but that never stopped him from living life with full volume. Rescued from a heartbreaking situation where a group of cats had been abandoned outside a home, Pouf arrived in poor shape—malnourished, battling an ear infection, and struggling with digestion issues. But this scrappy little survivor had spirit. With expert care from Chatons Orphelins Montreal and a hefty dose of love, Pouf bounced back quickly. Soon he was zipping around the house like a tiny whirlwind, completely unbothered by things like vacuums or loud noises, which he boldly challenged head-on. His quirky, fearless personality lit up the room, proving that even kittens with setbacks can be the boldest in the bunch

Despite his hearing limitations, Pouf was full of life and craved constant companionship. That’s when he met Chip—a shy, long-haired orange tabby who had once scavenged for food on icy streets. Chip had been wary of people, slowly learning to trust again under the care of his foster family. When the two were introduced, it was instant kitten chemistry. Pouf, ever the extrovert, took Chip under his wing. He shadowed him, reassured him with gentle grooming sessions, and showed him how to be brave. Chip, once timid and reserved, began to imitate Pouf’s every move—from playtime antics to curling up in their foster mom’s lap for snuggles
