This Mum cat tried to bring her babies to safety… but the window was shut.
We were called out to a woman’s house where a mother cat had been trying to raise her kittens on the roof. She’d been climbing up each day to feed them, and in a desperate attempt to keep them safe, she brought her kittens to the window sill to try and get them inside.
The woman who had taken pity on this mum cat and was feeding her was desperately allergic to cats and couldn't touch them as her allergies were so severe that she was having difficulty breathing. She had to keep the window shut to stop the mum cat and her kittens from coming in.
When our rescue team arrived, we were told that three of the kittens had disappeared. Only one kitten remained. The woman told us the mum cat had been desperately crying out for her three missing kittens. Dispite leafleting the area we were unable to find the missing kittens. Outdoors is no place for newborn kittens, there are too many dangers.
We acted fast to rescue this gorgeous mum and her sole surviving baby, they are now safe at our Canning Town Centre. She’s warm, she’s fed, and she’s finally able to care for her kitten in peace. Surprisingly the mother and her kitten are relatively friendly, so we suspect they may not have been born outside, but rather once belonged to someone.
But this is just the beginning.
Kitten season is here. And that means hundreds of vulnerable kittens will be born in alleyways, sheds, skips, gardens and gutters and will need our help.
Each mum cat we take in needs warmth, safety, vet care and a lot of food! A nursing mum cat can consume as many as 12 pouches of food a day just to produce enough milk to feed her litter.
With your help, we can be there for the desperate mum cats trying to survive this season. With your help we can offer more kittens the second chance they deserve. We are anticipating this to be the worst kitten season we've ever experienced, with so many people being effected by the cost of living crisis and unable to care for their pets.
Please donate today to help us rescue and care for more mums and babies this kitten season. Thank you for your support. 🙏🏼
