A tabby cat is so happy to be reunited with her only kitten after she was brought back from the brink.

Chatons Orphelins Montréal

A pregnant cat found herself in a difficult situation when her family no longer wanted her. A 12-year-old girl saw what happened and offered to take the cat, so she wouldn’t end up on the streets in the middle of winter. With the help of a neighbor, they were able to find a rescue to take her in.

The tabby cat was about 1-2 years old and heavily pregnant. Sylvie, a volunteer of Chatons Orphelins Montréal (a cat rescue in Montreal, Canada), responded to their plea and immediately drove to pick up the cat.

The sweet feline named Gisel quickly warmed up to her Foster Mom Stef when she realized that she was safe.

The Mad Catters @madcattersinc

The Mad Catters, a foster-based animal rescue charity, took in a pregnant young cat about five months ago. She was rescued in the nick of time before her babies were born.

With the help of volunteers at The Mad Catters, the cat mom had her precious kittens in a safe and comfortable environment. Her loving foster family was there to provide the assistance that she desperately needed.

“She was far too young to be having babies of her own. As a result of her size, age, and nutrition, all but one of her babies came out just a little bit different,” the rescue shared.

Pua the kitten was born as the only baby. Now, he is learning to be a cat with the help of a former foster.

A Bigger Purpose Kitten Rescue

A pregnant cat was rescued from a hoarding situation and brought to a shelter in New Jersey two months ago. She gave birth to a single kitten in the middle of January and was in need of help.

Riley, the founder of A Bigger Purpose Kitten Rescue in Hellertown, Pennsylvania, took the mother and son into her care. The momma cat, Moana, was unsocialized and very fearful of people. To help her decompress, they provided a quiet place for the duo and plenty of food for the mom.

With a comfortable room and good nutrition, Moana did a wonderful job nursing her only kitten, Pua.

A family gave a pint-sized kitten a fighting chance and turned his life around.

Beth @the_kitten_guinness

Beth, a foster volunteer of Kitty Kottage, was notified about a 99-gram kitten needing help. When she saw the little ball of fur, she was surprised by how small he was.

Despite being three weeks old, the kitten was just the size of a newborn. He had been rejected by his mother due to his health, and was in desperate need of bottle feedings and someone to love.

“He was a fighter since he had survived three weeks in the condition he was in,” Beth shared with Love Meow. His eyes were crusted shut when they got him. “I didn’t know if he’d be able to see.”

A cat wandered to the right home after roaming the streets. Now, he helps every foster kitten that comes through the door.

Jen @chaos.in.cat.shape

Jen, a foster volunteer of Jin’s Bottle Babies (a kitten rescue in Arizona), noticed an orange tabby in her backyard about three years ago. She began caring for him and later had him neutered and vetted.

The cat named Romeo showed up with ears that were flatten out to the side as a result of ear mite damage. Though his ears healed up, the scars left him with a permanent “airplane-eared” look.

Jen looked after him along with other community cats. “He wagged his tail more like a dog and his flat ears confused other cats to think that he was angry,” Jen told Love Meow.

A kitten won over the person who saved his life and blossomed into a beautiful tuxedo cat.

Alyssa Masten

Cloud the tuxedo was two weeks old when he was found in a window well along with his siblings. They were brought to Anderson Animal Shelter in Illinois, needing round-the-clock bottle feedings and a lot of TLC.

Alyssa Masten, a foster volunteer, received a call from the shelter and didn’t hesitate to take in the feline crew. Cloud was the most observant and quietest of the bunch.

“While his litter mates would fight to be the first ones to eat, he was patient and waited his turn,” Alyssa shared with Love Meow.

A couple of weeks after arrival, Cloud started to show symptoms of having a host of health issues. He was put on subcutaneous fluids, probiotics, prescription foods, and medications twice a day.

A kitten with a sweet face and a strong will to live was given a fighting chance. He is determined to thrive and live a full life.

Audrey @adventuresfoster

Muppet the kitten was born with deformities on his face (including a cleft palate, a cleft lip) and hydrocephalus. He was in need of specialized care and someone who would take a chance on him. Despite being a bit different, he showed incredible resolve from the start.

Audrey, a fosterer of Murphy’s Safe Haven (an animal rescue in Edinburg, Texas), saw the plea about the little tuxedo and immediately offered to help. “Kittens like him can live long healthy lives if they are with the correct person that will give them a chance,” Audrey shared with Love Meow.

While she was on the phone with another volunteer who was picking up the kitten, she heard a strong, loud meow in the … Read the rest

A kitten was nursed back to health from being just pint-sized. She became inseparable friends with a one-eyed cat.

CatRescue 901

A tiny orphaned kitten was brought to CatRescue 901, a volunteer-run cat rescue, after she was found without a mother. The kitten whom they named Flora, was so tiny that she could fit in the palm of a hand.

At just a couple of days old, without a mother’s milk, Flora had all the odds stacked against her. Katerina, a foster volunteer, began syringe-feeding her every 1-2 hours and used her own body heat to keep the kitten warm and comforted around the clock.

“Flora fought her way through her crashing thanks to an enormous effort from Kat,” Jenny Storaker, co-director of CatRescue 901, shared with Love Meow.

Two kittens from different litters met each other one day, and decided they would never be apart.

Sophie @lola_and_popps

Sophie from England welcomed Lola the brown tabby into her family a little while ago. The sweet kitten was an instant love-bug and quickly claimed her new abode as her kingdom.

As happy as she was, they knew something was missing in her life. Lola was constantly seeking attention and a companion who could handle all her unbridled energy.

They began to search for a new feline addition to join their family. “Lola had so much energy and would probably benefit from having a friend,” Sophie shared with Love Meow.

Two bonded kittens showed up outside a family’s backyard on a snowy day. They turned out to be the sweetest pair.

Dorset Rescue Kittens

Dorset Rescue Kittens, a cat rescue based in Ontario, Canada, was contacted about two kittens that had wandered into a backyard on New Year’s Day.

“The family who saw them, knew they needed to do something to help. They contacted me and we came up with a plan,” Cailey Seymour, the founder of Dorset Rescue Kittens, told Love Meow.

The tabbies appeared to be feral and wouldn’t let people approach them. The family started putting food and water outside, slowly moved the dishes closer to their shed, and eventually led the kittens into a secure area.
