A woman spotted a kitten as she pulled up to her house. The young cat came right over, asking to be let in.

It was late at night when Shannon arrived home. As she pulled into her driveway, she could see a pair of eyes glistening in the darkness above the well lid.
As soon as Shannon opened the car door, a gray and white kitten suddenly appeared under the porch light. She bolted towards Shannon, meowing at the top of her lungs. After trying to jump into the car, she followed Shannon onto the porch.
The kitten’s persistent cries made it clear she was determined to be taken in.
She wandered to a family’s home and demanded to be let in@feralcatcolony
“Shannon has never seen a cat so scared. Being the great person she is, she brought this little girl into the house,” Donna (a local animal rescuer) shared with Love Meow.
When Donna heard about the kitten, she immediately offered to help.

She brought the kitten, now named Star Diamond, to the vet, where they estimated her to be five months old. Though Star Diamond had been abandoned, she was fortunate to have come to the right place for help.
After being fully vetted, spayed, and treated, she returned home to Shannon, where her granddaughter, Autumn, waited with open arms.
Star Diamond was finally safe and had a lot to say@feralcatcolony
The family set up a cozy nook for the kitten, with a warm bed and an abundance of food. Star Diamond quickly felt at ease in her new surroundings and began to enjoy all the comforts they had provided for her.
Completely smitten with Star Diamond, Autumn announced she wanted to “raise her.”
Her new family prepared a cozy space for her to rest and heal@feralcatcolony
She went to her room, picked out her most cherished stuffed animal, and gave it to the kitten to keep her company. “She said even though they just met, she loves her already. Star Diamond will never spend a night on the streets again.”
That night, the kitten curled up beside her snuggle plush friend and drifted off to sleep, purring contentedly.

Autumn started a daily journal to document every precious moment of Star Diamond’s new life, and she even slept on the floor beside the kitten to ensure she was comfortable and didn’t try to jump around during her recovery.
“Autumn is truly an amazing and beautiful soul.”
They became best friends@feralcatcolony
Within a week, Star Diamond has gained some much-needed weight, thanks to her hearty appetite and a devoted friend who makes sure she’ll never go hungry again. “As Autumn said, ‘I can only slightly feel her bones now.”
“She is the best little human, empathetic, compassionate, and loves with her whole heart.”

After wandering outside in search of safety, Star Diamond has finally found the place where she truly belongs. “Shannon and her beautiful family will be keeping her and spoiling her for the rest of her life.”
She nestles close to Autumn every night, whispering purrs into her ears.
Now, the kitten follows her human around the house. They are inseparable@feralcatcolony
No longer scared or worried about her next meal, Star Diamond dreams of endless sunny days and warm cuddles without a care in the world.
Happy and loved@feralcatcolony
