A 5-week-old kitten that was recently found nearly frozen to death in Berkley, Massachusetts, this month is getting a second chance thanks to the quick actions of a community cat feeder and the Animal Rescue League of Boston.The kitten, now named Applesauce, was found among a cat colony by a resident who monitors and feeds the colony and was very alarmed when the kitten was found cold and listless. ARL responded to the finder's home and took the kitten to ARL’s Dedham Animal Care and Adoption Center. Upon intake, the kitten’s temperature was just 93 degrees -- a cat’s normal body temperature is typically between 100.5-102.5 degrees.ARL’s veterinary team used a heated blanket to help increase the kitten’s body temperature and closely monitored the cat. Over the course of several hours, the kitten’s temperature had risen to 98 degrees, and he was starting to perk up, indicated by a voracious appetite. Aside from being nearly frozen to death, the kitten was otherwise in good health.With the kitten stable, ARL placed Applesauce into foster care, where his foster family reported that for the first 24-36 hours, the kitten was lethargic and spent most of his time curled up in a blanket sleeping. However, by the third day in the foster home, Applesauce rebounded, being very vocal, attention-seeking, and purring for hours on end.At just seven weeks old, Applesauce is still too young for adoption. However, the cat should be available for adoption in a matter of weeks.
