Two kittens were found near a park and rescued just in time. They shared a very special bond from the start.

Chatons Orphelins Montréal

Two months ago, Isabelle from Montreal, Canada was taking a walk near a park when she saw two tiny balls of fur by the road. After taking a closer look, she realized that they were hungry little kittens covered in dirt, scrounging around for food.

The mother cat was nowhere to be found. Knowing that the weather was getting cold and that it would be tough for the kittens to survive the outdoors on their own, Isabelle decided to intervene. With the help of another Good Samaritan, they were able to get the kittens to safety.

The kittens were about 5-6 weeks old, very timid and just skin and bones. They were hankering for food as if they hadn’t eaten for some time. Volunteers went back … Read the rest

A cat with stubby front paws hopped his way into the hearts of so many after life on the streets.

Grace Choi @kittyboyandfriends

Grace Choi, a board member of Boomers Buddies Rescue in Los Angeles, came across a video of a shelter cat with a congenital defect.

The cat named Joey was desperately trying to hide his face in the corner of the kennel, and so scared that he froze in fear. “We just knew we had to help him. The next day I went to the shelter to pick him up,” Grace shared with Love Meow.

She was informed that the cat was feral and that he would never be able to be an indoor cat. “When I brought him home, he showed no signs of aggression. He just seemed terrified.”

Grace could tell that behind those fearful eyes, there was a beautiful soul eager to be loved. … Read the rest

A young cat walked up to a kind person for help, and brought someone very special with her.

Chatons Orphelins Montréal

On a weekend last fall, Milena, a volunteer of Chatons Orphelins Montréal (a cat rescue in Montreal, Canada), was on her way to meet another volunteer after leaving a vet clinic. She decided to take a different route, a shortcut to save time.

While she was walking down the alley way, she noticed a pair of eyes piercing from the bush. A grey kitten, about seven months old, was curiously staring at her. Milena stopped and called to the young cat in a soft voice, and right away, the kitty came running.

“That’s when she noticed that the kitten was pregnant with a big belly. She seemed to be hungry, so Milena opened a can of food that she happened to have in her purse,” Celine Crom of Chatons … Read the rest

A man rescued a tiny stray kitten from a tough situation and came back to make her dream come true.

Dumb Friends League

A man was at a tire shop in Commerce City, Colorado on Oct. 26, when he heard a kitten’s cries coming from a parked truck nearby. The weather was piercingly cold at 19-degrees (Fahrenheit).

As he traced the sound of distress, he was surprised to discover a tabby kitten stuck to the side of a tire from the semi-trailer. The little stray must have tried to seek warmth from the harsh weather and found herself trapped in a difficult situation.

Her paws were frozen to the metal side of the tire and she was struggling to free herself. The man sprang into action and began to find a way to safely remove the kitten from the predicament.

“The first step was figuring out how to free the … Read the rest

14-year-old shelter cat found the perfect companion to spend his golden years with. He brought not only smiles but something really special to his forever human.

Anne Arundel County Animal Care and Control

A 14-year-old gray cat was brought to Anne Arundel County Animal Care and Control (in Maryland) early this May. The older cat was very friendly and gentle to every staff member and volunteer he came across. All he wanted was a friend to spend time with.

The shelter was able to arrange a foster home for the sweet senior (named LL Cool J), so he could stay in a quiet and comfortable environment while he waited for the right family to come along.

“He loves to be petted and meows as soon as he knows you’re nearby,” his Animal Care and Control foster shared. “He craves attention, head butting, and still has a lot of love to … Read the rest

A cat walked up to a kind neighbor for help after she was left outside at almost 15 years old.

Denah of Friends for Life Rescue Network

Addie, the cat-loving German Shepherd, has been an admirer of Trixie, the Abyssinian cat, that lived on the street behind her house. “Trixie was an indoor cat that my dog loved through a window for years,” Denah, Addie’s owner, told Love Meow.

Last Monday, Denah was surprised to learn that Trixie was found wandering outside all alone. Her next-door neighbor recognized the cat and had her returned to the owner.

The next day at the crack of dawn, Denah took her dog out on a walk when Addie alerted her about something under a car. “It was Trixie. I called to her and she walked right up to me even with Addie crying to be with her.”

A pair of bonded kittens insisted on staying together after being rescued.

Earlier this summer, a litter of kittens was brought to the Animal Welfare League of Arlington in Arlington, Virginia for a chance at a better life. Volunteers at their Kitten College program worked tirelessly around the clock to care for them.

Two smaller litter mates were in need of extra attention. Lauren Strycula, a foster volunteer of the rescue, stepped in to help and brought them home.

The little bundles of fur huddled up, keeping each other comforted for the first few days. They were so tiny and fragile and had a few health issues to battle. Jace, the little brother, had a rough start and took a while to figure out how to eat from a bottle. Jackie, the sister, would wriggle up to his side to keep him company.

A tiny kitten was brought to Animal Welfare League of Arlington, in need of foster care. While being cared for at their Kitten College program, they noticed that he had difficulty eating, staying upright and wasn’t gaining weight at the rate that he should.

They immediately reached out to Nova Cat Clinic (in Arlington, Virginia) as they have a program, Chris Griffey Memorial Feline Fund, that provides help to kittens in critical condition.

“We did our basic intake exam and lab work and noticed he had a small systemic infection which our veterinarians prescribed antibiotics for,” Ellen Carozza, a Feline Licensed Veterinary Technician at Nova Cat Clinic, told Love Meow.

A cat was found in a driveway along with her kittens. One of her babies was especially attached to her.

Jen Marder @jenfosterskittens

A calico cat had been roaming the streets in a Los Angeles neighborhood for quite some time until she was spotted in a driveway with her kittens. Kind neighbors tried to care for them but soon realized that they needed a safer place to stay.

Wrenn Rescues (in Southern California) was contacted, and their foster volunteer, Jen Marder, immediately opened her home to the feline family. “The kittens were 3.5 weeks old and very small and skinny for their age, but they were super alert and active,” Jen shared with Love Meow.

The doting cat mom started caring for her kittens right after they settled into their new abode. She was so happy to have a roof over their heads, and her purrs reverberated throughout the … Read the rest

A kitten who was found in a field, snuggled up to a young man and wouldn’t let go.

Sunny @iamchimera407

Malia from New York was at Co-Op City Field in the Bronx for her son’s baseball game when she heard commotion from a crowd. A litter of kittens were found huddled up together in the field.

The kittens were covered in filth and just skin and bones. There was no sign of a mother cat, so Malia contacted Sunny, a local animal rescuer, for help. “She and her husband rushed the little ones over to me. My son (CJ Sung) and I took them in and bathed and bottle-fed all of them,” Sunny told Love Meow.

The kittens were around three weeks old and needed round-the-clock care. In just one day, they began to perk up. One of them quickly stood out.
