This black and white cat, you see in the photos, was spotted wandering the streets of Dundas, Ontario, Canada. She was pregnant at the time, looking for a safe place…
Luckily, good-hearted people noticed her and realized she needed veterinary care and a secure place to stay. She had infected wounds on her neck and chest, and her rescuers presumed she had been abandoned or neglected for a while.
They nursed her back to health and provided her with a safe space to deliver her babies.
It was all done side by side with their local rescue, Salty Animal Rescue, where their hope was to find a home for the mama cat and all her five kittens.
This sweet mama cat, named Oreo, was friendly from the moment they met her. She was so happy to have a home after wandering the streets for so long. Katelyn and Karly, the cofounders of Salty Animal Rescue shared:
“They will never need to live on the street again and will never add to the overpopulation of stray and feral cats in our community.”
“Mama Oreo is the most loving girl. She was always making sure her babies were cared for. We are so happy that her finders stepped in just in time.”
Oreo purred like crazy and didn’t take her eyes off her babies. She was so grateful and happy to have a safe home for her kittens, and even happier to be getting all the love and attention from her caregivers.
After about two weeks, the kittens opened their eyes and started walking beside their mama. Oreo continued nursing and grooming them, so they’d be clean and pretty at any moment.
Even though she was abandoned and who knows what she’s been through, Oreo never stopped trusting people and never lost her affectionate side. She enjoyed the cuddles of her rescuers and welcomed all the love they gave her.
