Kitten found frozen in Denver has a loving new home
A kitten found with severe hypothermia in Denver has been named after Elsa from the popular Disney film, Frozen. Luckily, Elsa the kitten has got her fairytale ending with a loving new owner.
Elsa was found in freezing cold conditions last month and rescued by a good samaritan. Since being taken to the Dumb Friends League she has made a full recovery.
She stole the heart of her foster carer, Jim Slater, who has now adopted her. "She was by far the sweetest kitten I've ever fostered. She's just amazing," he said.
Jim says Elsa is now a playful, cuddly kitten who has made a new friend in Jim's other cat - an 11-year-old named Blue.
Judi Heady, the rescue centre's director, said: "We're thrilled for Elsa, and for Jim. It's a great fit for both of them."
Jim is also the charity's volunteer of the year. He has donated more than 2,500 hours of his time and fostered no fewer than 70 animals in the two-and-a-half years since he began volunteering.
