A feline was provided with a cozy abode just in the nick of time to save her unborn offspring from being born out in the open. Salty Animal Rescue’s co-founders, Karly and Katelyn Saltarski, received an urgent request regarding a cat who required a safe haven for her impending litter.
Hamilton Animal Services discovered her wandering around as a stray. She wasn’t in the best condition, with an abscess under her chin and some deep scratches. They administered some antibiotics, and she improved dramatically,” Karly expressed. They accepted her with open arms, and the pregnant cat, who was named Wren, immediately felt at ease. She was so content with humans that she would roll onto her side to let them rub her full belly.
Wren, who had previously been living on the streets, could finally unwind in her cozy new nest and get some much-needed rest. The caretaker noted that she appeared to be carrying babies and soon enough, Mama Wren gave birth to a litter of five little ones. She was grateful for the help she received during the difficult delivery.
As Duck, Swift, Fisher, Sparrow, and Koel nursed together on Wren’s belly, she gazed at her adoptive mother and wiggled her toes in pure bliss. The family was grateful that Wren would never have to experience another birth, as it was uncertain if all of her offspring would have survived without intervention.
“Fortunately, we were able to offer her a comfortable and secure environment to deliver her babies just in time,” said the caretaker. Meet Koel, the smallest but most confident kitten in the litter. Despite being only a few days old, he would cuddle with his siblings while fiercely hissing like a true defender of the group.
Karly explained that when newborn kittens are unable to see or hear, they rely solely on their sense of smell to react to unfamiliar things. While Wren is a fantastic mother to her five kittens, she would much rather have all the attention on herself if it weren’t for her mommy responsibilities.
After recovering from her injuries, she is now fully healed with only a few noticeable scars. The litter of five kittens have also grown and their eyes are now open, giving them the opportunity to explore their surroundings by crawling around.
When the kittens turned two weeks old, they started to explore their surroundings and attempted to leave their cozy nests. It was quite adorable to watch those little creatures waddling around with their tiny feet. It was also exciting to see them start playing with each other, as it indicated that they were growing up and becoming more active.
It brings joy to Mama Wren when she gets quality time to herself while her kittens play together, improving their kitty abilities. Her caring nature as a mother is highly appreciated, and everyone is eagerly waiting for her babies to grow up and find their new homes so that Mama Wren can also get the loving forever home she deserves.
