A mother’s love knows no bounds and this pussy just proved it!
When sunflower, a stray cat, realized she was pregnant, she began looking for help to feed her future babies. She spotted a house where the living room window was open, only obstructed by a mosquito net. She approached and waited in front of the entrance as if she felt that good souls would be ready to take care of her and her little children here in the house.
The family immediately fed sunflowers
sunflower had indeed fallen well since the house belonged Kara Yanceya host family from the shelter Living the Dream Rescue, Arizona (United States). So soon Kara so V sunflower, she dropped him some food on the porch. She immediately understood that the cat was expecting babies.
Day after day, sunflower appeared in front of the house waiting to be fed. But she was not used to people and always kept a safe distance from them.
After a few weeks, Solsikke became less wild
After several weeks of patiently being fed off Kara and his family, sunflower dared to come a little closer. She even allowed herself to be stroked. Finally, the cat chose to move in with them a few days before she gave birth to 5 adorable kittens.
sunflower had taken the time to make sure the place and the people were safe before deciding to give birth in this house. She was then very happy to have a roof for her little ones, and not to have to worry about finding food. This allowed her to devote herself full time to her babies.
A big heart in which there was still room
As a twist of fate, Kara got a call from the shelter a week later. Two orphaned kittens whose lives hung in the balance urgently needed a mother.
“That’s when our shelter tried to see if we could take these babies. They wanted to see if Sunflower would accept them as their own. It was their best chance of survival because they were so young and fragile.“, told Kara on lovemeow.
When Kara went home with the two little ones and they started meowing, sunflower ran up. The kittens’ cries of distress activated her maternal instinct. Without hesitation, she began to groom and nurse the unknown felines. And in a few minutes the orphans became full-fledged members of the litter sunflower.
Today, the 7 babies are doing very well and will be offered for adoption, as well as the mother, when the time is right.
