Five weeks ago, a litter of kittens was found in a hole beneath the sidewalk, and Catsnip Etc, a TNR-focused rescue in Elkhart, Indiana, was contacted to assist.
In an area deemed unsafe for kittens, Catsnip Etc volunteers Paige, Carl, and Helen responded to a distress call regarding six tiny babies in danger.
Equipped with poles, duct tape, a net, and flashlights, the team arrived on the scene and began to shovel around the opening to get a good visual.
After locating the litter, they found the six tiny kittens huddled in the back, completely out of reach. With careful precision, the volunteers used their tools to rescue the kittens and bring them to safety.
Despite attempts to coax the six kittens out with a video of a cat mom calling her babies, they remained stubborn. Carl came to the rescue by crawling under the sidewalk to retrieve them.
He shimmied his way head-first into the hole, barely inching forward as his tummy rubbed against the concrete. Once he reached the kittens, he carefully maneuvered his body to retrieve them and handed them over to the other volunteers.
With Carl’s help, all six kittens were saved from a dangerous situation. Carl’s heroic actions demonstrate his unwavering commitment to animal welfare.
The kittens were in dire need of rescue, as they were covered in fleas and in a dirty condition. Thanks to Carl, these innocent animals were given a second chance at life.
After a few hours, they successfully used a humane trap to rescue a feral cat mom and her six terrified babies. All seven animals found safe homes, with the mom going to a barn home.
Initially scared, the kittens gradually grew comfortable in their new surroundings. They discovered an abundance of food and soft blankets to nap on, which helped them acclimate.
After a few days, they even let their foster carers wash them and offer some much-needed cuddles.
Catsnip Etc shared an update on the cats, stating that they are becoming more comfortable around people.
In fact, they recently had their first bath to wash away all the dirt that was on them. While the cats weren’t too excited about the bath, they are gradually becoming more accepting of snuggles and affection.
After being spayed and vaccinated, the feral mom will be acclimated to her new home in a nice barn. There, she’ll receive food, shelter, and lifelong care.
As the kittens continue to grow, they are also honing their feline skills and developing unique personalities. With each passing day, they become more confident and playful.
