A young cat with an old soul grew slower than others. They realized she was a “forever kitten.”Munchkin aka SukiTheOddCatSanctuaryA tiny kitten named Munchkin arrived at the Odd Cat Sanctuary from a local animal shelter, hoping for a better life.Found alone outside and starved of love, Munchkin craved comfort and company. At five weeks old, she was exceptionally small, with shorter legs in proportion to her compact build.”We quickly realized she was different when all the other kittens started growing, and she stayed the same size,” the Odd Cat Sanctuary shared with Love Meow.TheOddCatSanctuary”She was so sweet and snuggly when she arrived. The tiniest kitty with the shortest legs and a mackerel tabby coat.”Munchkin was immediately friendly with volunteers and sought affection from them. Curious about her new surroundings, she explored every corner, her paws tip-tapping softly while her tail stood proudly upright.TheOddCatSanctuary”We knew she was going to be all right the second we met her. She’s an old soul, and we could instantly see how special she was.”Though barely one pound, she let nothing slow her down when playing with other kittens.
