Suddenly, Mamayo deviated from their usual route and dashed towards the bushes.

He returned, not alone, but with a little kitten in his mouth.

As reported: Fakta.today

The little one was very frightened, thin, had a missing part of its tail, and was in desperate need of help.

The girl found an old box, placed the kitten inside, and they all went home together.

The kitten received a fitting nickname - Zlato (meaning "Gold").

It was bathed, fed, and taken to the veterinarian.

After examination, they found that the kitten was about 2 months old, healthy, and only needed warmth, food, and care.

The little guy, of course, stayed with his rescuers; it never crossed their minds to separate them, as they had become very close friends with Mamayo.

"Zlato decided that Mamayo is his new mother. He follows her around constantly and will never leave her!" says the owner.

Look at this adorable pair, how kind they are!
