A neighbor saw a gray kitten in the corner of their flower garden. Once brought inside, he made the cutest demands.

Last weekend, Stephanie Grantham, founder of Sparkle Cat Rescue, was at a vet clinic when she encountered a little gray kitten. “He only weighed 1.46 pounds and was just rolling around happily and showing off,” Stephanie shared with Love Meow.
At 4-5 weeks old, the kitten named Scrunkle had gone through quite a journey before finding safety. It all began when Clara, an independent animal rescuer, received a call from her neighbor.
As her neighbor finished mowing the lawn, he spotted a glint from his wife’s flower garden and noticed a tiny ball of fur shuffling in the corner.

Upon closer inspection, it was a gray kitten, gazing up at him with pleading eyes. The little stray had been wandering the streets alone until he stumbled upon the neighbor’s yard.
Shortly after the call, Clara arrived with a large crate, not knowing how tiny or friendly the kitten was.

When she approached Scrunkle, he didn’t run or flee but was eager to be helped. Clara simply reached into the flower bed, scooped him out, and placed him in her arms.
The kitten was instantly calm, leaning into her for comfort. “She took the baby home, made him comfortable, and fed him. The next morning, she brought him to the clinic.”
He immediately demanded attention and cuddles from peopleSparkleCatRescue
Scrunkle was overjoyed to have people pay attention to him, meowing up a storm until he was picked up and cuddled. Knowing how much he needed a foster home, Stephanie offered to take him and transport him to his carers, Erin and Lauren.
“He did not want to be in the carrier, so I held him in my lap, wrapped in a towel the whole time. All he wanted was snuggles.”

The kitten was flea-ridden, dehydrated, and a bit lethargic but insisted on staying close to people at all times. After getting treated and cleaned up, he rolled around in a warm lap with his paws up in the air, running his purr motor on high.
“Within a few hours of drinking water, getting Nutrical, and eating a good meal, he was all settled in, doing well.”

While recovering from those lonely days on the streets, Scrunkle’s purr engine never seemed to stop running.
With proper care and plenty of TLC, he is finally flea-free, and his stomach issues are on the mend. He is getting increasingly clingy and demanding for cuddles and wouldn’t take no for an answer.

“He’s just the snuggliest, sweetest little guy. He loves people and wants cuddles all day,” Erin shared.
Scrunkle sprints to his foster carers the moment they enter the room, brushing his soft fur against their legs. When he’s petted, he flops into a purring heap and melts into a puddle of joy.

Within a few days in foster care, he has blossomed into a love bug and a purr machine.
He is always glued to his foster family’s side, seeking affection from the moment he wakes up, making sure he never lacks an ounce of love.
