Spackle

Meet Spackle: The Little Kitten Found Inside a Wall Some rescue stories are so unusual that you couldn’t make them up. Spackle’s story is definitely one of them! Our rescue was contacted by a previous adopter after her brother heard tiny cries coming from somewhere behind the bathroom sink wall in his house. He listened carefully and realized there really was something inside the wall. So he opened it up. There, hidden behind the bathroom sink, was a tiny tabby kitten only about 10 days old. Her eyes were barely open, and she was completely helpless. We named her Spackle. After all, what else do you name a kitten who was rescued by opening up a wall? Our first concern was finding her mama. We searched for her and checked the attic, hoping there might be a mother cat or more kittens nearby, but there was no mama cat to be found. One of our amazing volunteers immediately stepped in to care for Spackle. At only about 10 days old, she needed to be bottle-fed around the clock. She was finally warm, safe and getting the care she needed. We thought the rescue was over. Two days later, after the wall had been closed back up, the crying started again. The wall was opened for a second time, and there was another tiny kitten inside. A little black kitten. Spackle had a brother! We named him Wally. This time, we searched even more carefully to figure out how these babies were getting inside the wall. That’s when a hole was discovered in the soffit of the house. Somehow, their mama had gotten into that area and the kittens had fallen or been dropped down inside the wall. Spackle and Wally were reunited, and our wonderful volunteer bottle-fed both babies for 4 weeks. Now they are fostered and waiting for their forever homes. And just look at Spackle now. That tiny, helpless baby has grown into a beautiful tabby girl with enormous expressive eyes, gorgeous markings and the sweetest little white toes. Spackle is playful, curious and affectionate. She loves being around people and other cats, and she especially loves her brother Wally. After everything these two experienced together, they still love playing, sleeping and curling up together. Spackle was born approximately July 15, 2026. She is available for meet and greets now and can be reserved for adoption. Her adoption fee is $75. Spackle and Wally can be adopted separately, but if you have ever considered adopting two kittens together, these two have an incredibly special bond.
