Cats, like humans, frequently require the gift of time to heal and feel kindness. Mama feline Coco and her five kittens were living behind a warehouse in Ontario, Canada, and this was clearly the case. They were spotted by a good samaritan on a frigid morning earlier this year, and Cailey Seymour, the founder of Dorset Rescue Kittens, was contacted.
The good samaritan quickly laid out a dish of food for the small colony, and everyone raced over, delighted to see the delicious feast. For the first time in their lives, the cats didn’t have to worry about where their next meal would come from, and they consumed all of the delicious food. Following that, the woman made contact with Seymour.
Seymour explains, “She texted me a snapshot of the kittens and asked if we could accept them.” “‘Absolutely,’ I replied. She was able to capture all five kittens as well as their mother.”
Coco was given to the mother kitten very quickly. She is estimated to be around five years old, and she and her babies were found at the shelter. Rescuers discovered she was nothing but skin and bones. Her existence on the streets was obviously difficult.
“As far as we know, Coco lived her entire life on the streets,” Seymour explains. “We were afraid she was wild, yet nothing could be further from the truth.”
Mama Coco had some time to adjust to her new circumstances, but now that she has, she isn’t looking back.
Cailey explains, “Mama Coco has finally started to understand the concept of a home.” “At first, she’d only lay on the ground, never in a bed or on a couch. She craved attention but had no idea how to get it.”
But the nicest thing is that she’ll be an indoor cat for the rest of her life.
“She now seeks attention, lounges on beds and couches, and you can tell she never wants to leave the house.”
That’s got to be the most exciting news ever! She’ll be a lot safer inside.
Mama Cat and her kittens were thin and filthy, with upper respiratory illnesses. Poor babies, they were in such an awful state.
“They were clearly eating leaves and grass because there was no food readily available to them,” Cailey explained.
Coco’s kittens took a little longer to come up to human attention at first, but with mom’s loving love and encouragement, they soon warmed up to it. To make them feel protected, the adorable grey-and-white tabby lovingly cleaned their little faces. Coco, on the other hand, was learning to love and trust her caregivers.
“She was leaning into love like she’d been yearning for it her whole life,” Cailey observed.
Her tiniest waif, on the other hand, was in desperate need of her mother. Coco’s rescuers were pleasantly pleased with how strong this mama cat was.
“I was surprised Coco kept the pups alive until they were eight weeks old, which was when we got them,” Cailey added. “One of the babies, Chanel, was smaller and quieter than the others,” says the mother.
The tiny white ball of fur was the youngest of the litter, and she required particular attention and love from her mother. More information is available at InspireMore. Chanel clung to her mother even after her brothers and sisters had been weaned since breastfeeding was so comforting to her. Mama Coco didn’t seem to mind. This mother cat and her kitten built a strong and unbreakable bond.
“She’s been a fantastic mother and adores Chanel,” Cailey added. “Chanel is often her mother’s shadow, but as she’s gotten older, she’s really opened out and developed her own personality.”
Coco is the laid-back kind who enjoys napping in soft, comfortable surroundings, whilst Chanel has transformed into a lively little kitten. She’s discovering new locations to explore in their foster home. One of her favorite pastimes, like that of most kittens, is waking up mum. And as their attachment grew stronger, the rescue determined that this lovely mama and baby should be adopted together. Especially since this sweet little one enjoys following her mother around the home, keeping Coco on her toes.
Despite the fact that Mom wants to relax. Coco, on the other hand, prefers to unwind and unwind. She appreciates human affection, especially a good neck scratch and tummy rub.
Coco, on the other hand, is a mama kitten with plenty of space for her young buddy, whom she plainly adores.
“She’s been a fantastic mother and adores Chanel,” Cailey says. “Chanel is often her mother’s shadow, but as she’s gotten older, she’s really opened out and developed her own personality.”
“You’ll always find these two lovelies snuggled up close to each other, or Chanel dashing around with mama Coco right behind her.”
The best was yet to come for these two kitties: they had found their forever home, where they could be happy for the rest of their lives. I adore happy endings like this. I wish all animals were as lucky as Coco, but I’m delighted both kitties will be safe in a loving family and Coco will never have to feel the cold again.
