Watching Einstein chase his toys confidently and melt into his foster parents’ arms filled with purrs, it’s hard to imagine where the four-month-old kitten came from.

Einstein was rescued from a hoarding situation at just three weeks old. His clearly neglected litter was found outside in the harsh summer heat, filthy, covered in fleas, underweight and battling an upper respiratory infection — all while separated from their mother.

“We pulled Einstein and his siblings from the Castaic Shelter after they were saved from a hoarding situation,” said Melissa Lampert, co-founder of Madeline’s Angels Pet Sanctuary. “They were so young at the time that the shelter just didn’t have the resources to give them the around-the-clock care they needed.”

As the smallest and sickest of the unweaned kittens, it seemed Einstein was the runt of the litter, but he was determined to prove he was “tiny but mighty” and is now totally healthy and thriving.
“Einstein is a confident, playful, silly kitten who is getting more cuddly every day,” Lampert said. “He’s been a bit lonely since his brother and sisters were adopted, and would do great in a home with other pets or kids to keep him company and play with him.”
Einstein is neutered, microchipped and up-to-date on his shots. He has also been de-wormed and is FeLV/FIV negative.
“We don’t know why there hasn’t really been any interest in Einstein so far,” Lampert said. “He’s such a fun, sweet boy, and we’re hoping he’ll find his forever home really soon.”
