Little girl bursts into tears for her new fur baby and so will you

9 year old Marley had no idea she had a kitten waiting for her after school.

Her reaction was absolutely precious.

First... pure joy.

"Our elderly black cat Simon had passed away the year before and she'd been asking for a kitten since," Nichole Frost shared with Love Meow. "Ella (the cat) was actually found under a friend's porch with a sibling, their mother believed to have been killed on the road."

They were bottle fed and when they were ready for adoption, Frost happened to meet her that day. "I had no intention of bringing another cat home, but... sometimes you just know these things are meant to be."

Marley and Ella are best friends, and Marley is a wonderful cat mom. :)
