Rescuers Found Kittens Left Behind in House and Came Back for Missing Cat Mom

Rescuers saved a family of cats and kittens who had been left behind, and came back to find the missing cat mom.

Mid-September, Sparkle Cat Rescue, a rescue group in Burlington, North Carolina, was contacted about a number of cats and kittens needing rescue.

Their previous owners left them behind at a property in Asheboro, North Carolina when they were moving out. Rescuers found several adult cats and two litters of kittens at the location.

While the kittens were being rescued, one of the cat mothers escaped the house and ran off.

After getting the other cats and kittens to safety, rescuers came back to search for the remaining cat. "We wanted to find the cat mom so they could all be reunited as soon as possible," Stephanie of Sparkle Cat Rescue told Love Meow.

The four younger kittens were missing their mama. After a long day of being rescued and getting transported to their foster home, they were a bit scared and exhausted.

They were constantly looking for their cat mom who was nowhere to be found.

Later that evening, an adult white cat showed up at the property — the missing cat finally returned. Once she was captured, they brought her to be reunited with her kittens.

"The kittens were so excited to see their mom, and she was happy to be reunited with them," Stephanie told Love Meow. "She lay down and started nursing and cleaning them."

The room was instantly filled with purrs and happy chirps.

Many foster volunteers from Sparkle Cat Rescue stepped up that day, so all the cats and kittens rescued from the property could have a comfortable home to stay and recover.

The kittens clung to their doting mama and followed her everywhere around the room.

The sweet Mama walked up to her foster mom for some love while she was taking a break from the kittens.

She was grateful to be rescued and to have someone help care for her babies.

The little ones were named Sheldon, Zazzle, Razzle and Dazzle. They quickly came out of their shell after their mom's return.

Little Zazzle is like a mini version of her cat mom.

Razzle is a little shy but a great climber. She likes to nap on the cat tree and is as sweet as can be.

"This mama is so happy to be safe and sound with her babies. They are doing well and will never be homeless again."
