Wisp, the adorable Persian kitten who has taken TikTok by storm. Known for her unique, "scrungly" appearance and chatty personality, Wisp has captured the hearts of nearly 800,000 followers and amassed over 50 million likes. This tiny, fluffy sensation resides at the Rags to Riches Animal Rescue in Tampa, Florida, where she enjoys a life filled with love and care.
Her distinctive look, often compared to a used napkin or a mad scientist, is partly due to her special diet, which leaves her white fur stained orange around her mouth. Despite facing challenges like an intestinal condition that requires regular medical attention, Wisp's resilience and spunky nature have made her a beloved figure online.
Amerosa's decision to share Wisp's antics on TikTok led to an explosion of followers and likes, turning this little kitten into a star almost overnight. Wisp now enjoys a life filled with love and care at the rescue, alongside other foster animals, and continues to charm her fans with her daily adventure.
As for her name, it is said that Amerosa chose "Wisp" because of the kitten's delicate and ethereal appearance, reminiscent of a "wisp" of fire or smoke. This name perfectly captures her unique and whimsical look.

The Backstory:
Wisp was what one could call an "oopsie-daisy" baby, so to speak...
It all started prior to Wisp's birth, when suddenly several Persian cats started being dumped by an unknown culprit throughout the neighborhood. Wisp's mother was the one of the Persians rescued, coming to her from someone who said it was a boy named "Gerald." Since only some the cats were fixed and Gerald was shy, Amerosa didn't want to mess with her further and noted the gender. A few weeks later while caring for the cats, she came home to single white kitten. It was a surprise to say the least and its seemed that Gerald was in fact a Gertrude... :3
Wisp faces a few health challenges, primarily an intestinal stricture that makes it difficult for her to pass stool. This condition requires regular medical attention, including a procedure called ballooning to stretch her colon. Additionally, she had a respiratory infection called calicivirus when she was around two weeks old, which she eventually recovered from.
Wisp's daily life at the Rags to Riches Animal Rescue is filled with love, care, and a bit of adventure. She enjoys bottled water and spends her days relaxing alongside six foster dogs and a few foster kittens. Despite her health challenges, Wisp's spunky and sassy personality shines through. She loves to waddle around, scream for food, and engage in playful antics that have endeared her to fans worldwide.
One particularly heartwarming aspect of Wisp's life is her relationship with Lilac, another cat at the rescue. Lilac, who usually dislikes other cats, has taken a special liking to Wisp. Amerosa often finds Lilac grooming Wisp, a touching display of affection and care.
While Wisp herself isn't up for adoption due to her ongoing medical needs, her story has inspired many to adopt other animals from the rescue. Amerosa's dedication to sharing Wisp's journey on TikTok has not only brought attention to Wisp but also to the many other animals in need of homes. This increased visibility has led to numerous successful adoptions, giving many animals a second chance at a loving home.
