A fiercely devoted cat mother shields her kittens with unwavering dedication, ensuring their safety until rescuers arrive to provide assistance.
A loving, mama cat was trying her best to keep her four kittens safe while living as strays in the Bronx, New York City.
Their living situation was unstable and unsafe, but the stray was determined to keep her babies safe.
Guarding them in a dirty backyard, she was anxious and desperate for help.
Luckily, a rescue organisation came to her aid and changed her and her babies’ lives forever.
Little Wanderers NYC is a rescue group in New York City which focuses on rescuing “the neediest cats in the toughest areas of NYC.”
When they received news about the mama cat in the Bronx with four young kittens, they knew that they had to save her and her babies.
A volunteer a Little Wanderers, Ariana, immediately jumped into action and went to bring the little family to safety.
After several hours of searching the neighbourhood in which they’d been spotted, Ariana finally laid eyes on the stray.
Unfortunately, the mama was very scared of people and ran off before Ariana could bring her to safety.
Ariana was relieved to at least be able to find and rescue all the little kittens, but she knew that she had to save their mother too.
She’d worked so hard to keep her babies safe, but she also deserved to be safe and cared for.
