Welcome to the tale of a fierce feral mama cat and her adorable kittens. Get ready for a story that’ll warm your heart and make you feel all fuzzy inside!
In San Bernardino County, California, there was a mama cat and her kittens in need of some serious rescuing. The mama cat, who the team later named Creekside, was hissing like a kettle, and the rescuers were more than a little hesitant to approach her. But they were determined to help these little furballs.
When they finally made it to the flowerbed where the kittens were hiding, they scooped them up one by one and placed them into a carrier. But there was a problem – these kittens were only a day old and needed their mama to survive.
So, the team set up a trap to catch the mama cat, who was hiding under a car. After a while, Creekside came out to check on her babies, and the rescuers jumped at the opportunity to catch her. One kitten in the trap was enough to lure her in.
With the kittens and the mama cat safely in their possession, the team thought it would be a great idea to film a video of the mom with her babies. They couldn’t have anticipated what was about to happen next – Creekside was one spicy mama! She swiped the phone from the filmer’s hand, leaving everyone a little stunned.
But that wasn’t the end of the drama. The team had to use a giant ladle to move the kittens onto a scale to weigh them and make sure they were healthy. Creekside was too feisty for them to handle, but she was a great mom and kept her babies close to her.
Sadly, three of the kittens didn’t make it. But two of them, Pebbles and Ferns, were fighters and pulled through. Pebbles was affectionate, and Ferns loved making little biscuits – aww, how cute is that?
The team made the decision to send the kittens to a foster home, but they couldn’t part with Creekside. Although she didn’t warm up to the team as much as her kittens did, she found a new home as one of the ferals there.
And so ends the tale of Creekside and her kittens. A story of fierce love, determination, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her babies.
