Feisty Ginger Rescue Kitten Melts Hearts After Nurturing Foster Kitties with Her Sweet Side
This feisty Orange kitten proves it. Her fiery spirit likely carried her through a rough start, but as that tough edge softens with age, she's revealing a tender side—guiding foster kittens to feel safe and loved.
Watch her morph into a nurturing kitten caretaker in this video from April 4:
Not long ago, Red was the lone survivor of her litter, fighting for her survival. Thanks to her human mom Ashley's (@soccercatmom) care and the strong bond she formed with her feline sibling, Poppy, this Ginger kitten overcame the odds and earned a permanent place in the family.
Though she flaunts a tough front, Red is softening and revealing a sweeter side. Now a resident cat, she's nurturing foster kittens Salt and Pepper, who were left longing after their mom stopped nursing and was adopted out. Unable to feed them herself, Red still wraps them in safety and love, mirroring the care once given to her.
Check out this adorable video of Red meeting Salt and Pepper for the first time!
At What Age Can Kittens Eat on Their Own?
While some kittens might be ready to eat food as early as three weeks, most begin the weaning process at about four weeks old. According to Vet Help Direct, most are ready to eat solid food by six weeks old.
Fans were touched by her kindness. One shared, 'I wouldn't have expected this from Red. So glad she is showing her loving side.' Another gushed, 'I think it was clear from the outset that Poppy would teach her that love begets love. The circle of loving-kindness. Thank you for sharing.' It's a reminder of what kindness can do.
Animals never cease to amaze me with the boundless love they share with us and each other. If humans took a page from their book, the world would undoubtedly be a much kinder place.

Worker Leaves Shoes at Customer's Door—Dog Instantly Claims His Prize
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. What began as a routine workday quickly spiraled into a real-life sitcom for one unlucky worker—whose only mistake was leaving his shoes by the door. In a viral TikTok posted Monday by user @lifeaedean, the man is seen slipping on his one remaining shoe while the culprit—a customer's dog—struts around proudly with the other, having stolen it like a furry little bandit showing off stolen treasure. "Took my shoes off at the door. Came back, dog's nicked my shoe," he says, launching what he jokingly calls "Operation Get My Shoe Back," as he and two others hilariously scramble to reclaim it. While the video had viewers in stitches, the dog's behavior isn't all that unusual. Canines often swipe shoes and socks—but what is it about our smelly footwear that makes it so irresistible? Dogs may take our shoes for several reasons, including teething, boredom, over-stimulation, anxiety, or just demanding attention or play, according to Vet Help Direct. Puppies often chew shoes to soothe their gums when teething, while dogs lacking physical or mental stimulation may act out to get a reaction. Some breeds, like retrievers, are bred to carry things in their mouths, so if you own one, you should remove any shoes from the door when you leave the house. Other dogs, especially those that are anxious or suffer from separation anxiety, might find comfort in your scent. To prevent your dog from chewing off your shoes, you should ensure they get plenty of physical exercise and mental stimulation through walks, puzzle toys, and interactive play. You should also teach them commands like "leave" or "swap." It's important that you never chase your dog, as it can reinforce the behavior, making it look like a game. If problems persist, a veterinarian or a qualified animal behaviorist may help you out. The video quickly went viral on TikTok and it has so far received over 262,900 views and 22,900 likes on the platform. This dog didn't just steal a shoe—he stole the show. This dog didn't just steal a shoe—he stole the show. @lifeaedean One user, StormzTailz, commented: "Is there any evidence the dog took it though? it's unclear." Leighowens7 said: "My dog did this with a stranger who was carrying a spare pair of boots with her. She missed her train. mortifying is an understatement." HenryParkin added: "I had this with my van keys, spent a good 10 mins searching before the customer realized." Karli Sando said: "The way it's looks at you, it's mocking you."
