Moved by the Plight of These Kittens, the Compassionate Cat Selflessly Nourishes Them Without a Moment’s Hesitation.
Mutual aid between animals can be observed, particularly in shelters where dramatic situations sometimes give rise to surprising reactions. A litter of cats without a mother was lucky enough to come across a feline willing to help them.
Street cats breed much more than indoor cats. In one year, a cat can have up to 3 litters, which produces a significant number of kittens. Affected by the dangers of the street, some families can be separated. It is not uncommon to see litters of kittens arrive in shelters without mothers. These emergency situations generally mobilize all teams and solutions must be found. This devoted mom cat’s story was first reported by PetHelpful .
A cat taking care of these abandoned kittens
One day, the Best Friends Animal Society shelter in Arkansas (United States) saw a group of kittens arrive who had lost their mother. Luckily, at the same time, the volunteers were looking after a cat who was still lactating since she had just given birth to her babies. If the connection was not obvious, both for the kittens and for the cat, the device worked.
The volunteers proceeded with great gentleness and kindness so as not to rush the young mother. They showed the kittens to the cat then placed them very delicately against her. Without much surprise on her part, the feline immediately accepted the little ones and even helped them feed against her breasts. Sensing them in danger, she must have understood the drama that was playing out. In return, the kittens immediately knew what was going on and what they had to do. Relieved, they drank breast milk for several minutes.
80,000 likes from Internet users touched by this gesture of mutual aid
If the volunteers did not remain indifferent to what was happening before their eyes, the Internet users did not remain unscathed either. The video posted on TikTok , showing the cat breastfeeding, aroused significant interest among Internet users who commented en masse to show their emotions.
Some were very moved: “There is a mother who thanks her from heaven” , and others were lighter: “it seems as if she is saying: watch out, I will clear the table for you” . Everyone notices the obviousness in the eyes of the feline, who does not doubt for a single moment what the outcome of this meeting will be. The pussy was there for them, without a moment of latency.
One thing is certain: it was thanks to the cat’s very generous and natural gesture that the kittens escaped. Without the help of this big-hearted cat, they would have had to struggle with fragile health. Now well cared for, these little felines have put all the chances on their side to lead a peaceful and joyful life.
