When Yessica first came across the small kitten, she was so tiny that she hadn’t even opened her eyes yet. Yessica knew that there would be no way that this small kitten could survive on her own. So she quickly scooped her up and took her home.

During a kitten’s first few weeks of life, it is imperative that they be with their mother. In fact, the first four weeks of a kitten’s life should be spent being nurtured by their mom. Without this nurturing, their chances of surviving are quite slim.
16. Quite Young
Since kittens typically open their eyes after 10 days, it was quite obvious to Yessica that this tiny kitten was incredibly young. Without someone around to care for her, this poor kitten wouldn’t last much longer. So Yessica did what any caring human would do!
15. Going Home

So Yessica brought Blanquis home with her and began to take care of and nurture the cat. Blanquis began to grow more and more as the months went by and she seemed to start picking up some of her owner’s traits. It seems that that Blanquis was also big-hearted by nature.

“He said, ‘You have to come down here,’” Rodriguez told The Dodo, when recalling that day. However, it seems that the scene was too unusual for Yessica’s husband to keep quiet. After shouting for her, he immediately said, “Your kitten has an animal on her back!”

Yessica was immediately shocked and surprised to hear what her husband said. So she quickly ran into the next room to see what all the commotion was about. As soon as she stepped foot into the room she realized that her husband had not been over exaggerating and there was an animal on her cat’s back.

It seems that Blanquis had picked up a new pal while out on her outdoor travels. The friend happened to be a tiny baby marsupial, a baby opossum to be exact. Yessica couldn’t believe her eyes as she saw the animal clinging onto the cat’s back.

Opossums can be found all throughout the Americas. Just like cats, the babies also rely very much on their mothers during their first weeks of life. Opossums actually feed inside of their mothers pouches for the first 70 days.

Although Yessica couldn’t tell how old the opossum was, she could tell that it was very young. Since it was so young, it was obvious that it still needed its mother love to survive. It seems that Blanquis decided to step in as a surrogate mother for this sweet baby!
