A blind kitten heard the paw-steps of another young cat and started to follow her, changing both their lives.

Echo, the kitten, was brought to the city shelter after being found as a stray. She was treated for a severe eye infection, but while her sight couldn't be saved, her life was spared.

At an early age, Echo embarked on a new journey, where she learned to navigate the world using her other senses. In urgent need of a foster home, volunteers at Saving Grace Rescue stepped in to help.

When Joyce, a foster volunteer, went to pick up Echo at the shelter, she was greeted by a curious, spirited, and joyful kitten.

It didn't take long for Echo to settle into her new space. She explored the room, mapping every nook and cranny. When Echo heard the sound of another cat, her ears perked up, and she made a beeline for it.

Before Echo's arrival, another kitten named Itty Bitty had already come to the foster home, also hoping for a better life.

Itty Bitty was rescued from the outdoors with a fractured leg. What had happened to her remained a mystery, but one thing was certain - her future would be filled with comfort and love. Joyce brought her home to foster, providing a safe and cozy place for her to heal.

Before long, Itty Bitty was curled up on her human, fast asleep, as if she finally understood she was safe.

When Echo heard the paw-steps of another foster, she was ecstatic to meet her. She sprinted toward her new friend for a playful introduction. Soon enough, the two were tumbling across the floor, wrestling like long-lost littermates.

"They started playing with each other right away on the first day," Joyce told Love Meow.

Echo began following Itty Bitty from room to room, and being blind never slowed her down. They zoomed around nonstop, creating all sorts of antics until they were completely worn out from playing.

Itty Bitty then curled up beside her best friend, allowing Echo to smother her with kisses and purrs before they drifted off to sleep.

"They are so loving and cuddly. Echo loves to give you facials, constantly licking your face. Every time you touch them, they are purring. They love playing together and are often next to each other."

"Itty Bitty's fracture has healed beautifully, and Echo's blindness doesn't stop her from doing what cats do best - playing like little monkeys."

Echo and Itty Bitty became a bonded pair, always side by side like two peas in a pod. Echo would follow her sister's tippy taps or cheerful chirps around the house, sharing in every adventure.

When they were ready to find their forever home, the rescue knew they were a packaged deal.

A family was searching for a new addition to their home when they came across the two best friends. They were instantly smitten and knew they had found the perfect match.

"From the moment they applied, they knew these two needed to stay together," Amber Rose, founder of Saving Grace Rescue, shared with Love Meow.

While Echo responds to people's voices with curious sniffs and gentle pawing, Itty Bitty is always ready to warm their laps with a cuddle.

The two thrive in each other's company and will soon be heading to their forever home together.

Both were found as strays and needed a lot of healing, but when they met, it was as if their hearts were finally whole. They will continue their journey together, with Echo shadowing her best friend every step of the way.
