A feline was discovered wandering on the snow-covered roads and is overjoyed to have her kittens safe and warm. The founder of Tiny but Mighty Kitten Rescue in Cornwall, Ontario, Canada, Mellissa, received a message about a pregnant cat roaming the icy streets about a month ago. She was asked if she could take the cat in by a fellow rescuer. Mellissa told Love Meow about this incident.
When the weather was really chilly with heaps of snow and ice on the ground, I stumbled upon an image of a pregnant cat outside. Without hesitation, I decided to provide a warm and secure shelter for her and her babies. Thankfully, Jackie, my colleague in rescue work, came to my aid and we were able to rescue the feline, whom we named Missy, the following day.

When she came under my care, she was understandably scared and bewildered. Everything was unfamiliar to her and she had no clue about the situation. Initially, Mellissa would spend time with the soon-to-be mother cat in a calm and serene manner to make her feel secure. With the help of some treats and a whole lot of patience, Mellissa gradually gained the cat’s trust.
Missy showed bravery by venturing out of her usual setting and checking out the kitten room. She gradually became at ease with her human and started feeling more at home. “I took things slowly and made sure to observe her body language to respect her personal space,” Mellissa revealed to Love Meow. After four days, she managed to softly pat Missy’s head, which was a significant move for her.
In the afternoon, Mellissa surprised everyone by entering the room with two adorable furballs snuggled next to her. By the evening, five healthy kitten were nursing on her belly with great enthusiasm. Mellissa was grateful that they were in a safe and warm space as they had been rescued just in time.
Right from the beginning, MamaMissy displayed a great deal of care and concern towards her litter of five. “I noticed how intently she observed my hand while I was petting them, but I made sure to be mindful of her body language and not overstep my boundaries.” Gradually, as time passed by, Missy started to become more comfortable and relished in the comforts of indoor living. She even began to seek out Mellissa’s affection and attention.
Mellissa shared with Love Meow that the cat she’s been taking care of has shown remarkable improvement in a short span of time. The feline has become more comfortable around Mellissa and now seeks full body pets instead of just head pets. Additionally, she enjoys being brushed and has even started playing with toys when she takes a break from nursing her kittens.
After three weeks of being born, the kittens’ eyes are now wide open and they are beginning to move and play around. Missy, the mother cat, is closely monitoring her babies and attending to their every need. Witnessing this transformation has been an extraordinary experience, according to Mellissa. She believes that Missy’s future is bright because she will soon be thoroughly examined by a veterinarian and spayed, thereby eliminating concerns related to endless pregnancies and the care of kittens.
In due course, I am confident that Missy will come across the ideal family who will offer her affection, kindness, and empathy towards the challenges she has faced. Presently, Missy is progressing towards becoming more comfortable in a domestic environment and receiving all the love she deserves as an indoor cat.
