Kind people took in a kitten from the cold and wouldn’t leave his look-alike mother cat behind.

When temperatures dropped and snow began to fall, a tiny kitten appeared at a resident’s home in search of warmth and food.

Right beside him was his mother, who looked strikingly similar to him. The outdoor environment wasn’t safe for the pair, and when a local animal rescuer heard about their situation, she rushed to help.

Seeing the kitten in rough shape, she knew he would need more care than she could provide.

She contacted Chatons Orphelins Montreal to get the kitten the help he needed, while offering to take in the mother in the meantime.

The kitten’s eyes were covered in crust. After receiving initial treatment at a vet clinic, he was placed in a foster home where he could rest and recover. But a few days later, his condition worsened, and he was treated for a fever.

Thanks to the dedication of a veterinary team and volunteers, the little fighter began to turn a corner.

They named him Bieber, and as his strength returned, his personality started to shine. Before long, he was eating from a dish all by himself and eagerly seeking affection from the people caring for him. “Thanks to these treatments, he was able to recover. His mother, Patty, was able to join him,” the rescue shared.

“The mother and kitten were nearly identical, with their large paws, different-colored eyes, and even similar markings on their heads.”

When Patty arrived at her foster home, she was understandably nervous. Sensitive to sounds, she carefully inspected every corner with her polydactyl paws. Despite her shyness, it was clear she longed for affection.

When Patty was reunited with her kitten, Bieber wasted no time playing. He rolled around on the floor, trying to coax his mom into a wrestling match. Though much smaller, he had a fierce attitude, waving his oversized mittens in the air as if trying to look bigger.

“Bieber adores everyone, cats and humans alike. He’s incredibly playful and turns every room into a playground.”

Seeing her kitten healthy and thriving seemed to bring Patty a sense of relief. Now that her job as a mother was done, she began taking time for herself. As she grew more comfortable with her foster family, she realized she no longer had to live in fear or hide.

“Once she trusts you, she shows what a gentle soul she truly is.”

Now retired from motherhood, Patty has rediscovered her playful side. Whenever she spots a box, she hops in to investigate. “She has a cute little quirk of waiting for us inside a box, almost like she’s playing hide-and-seek. As soon as we find her, she dashes off, only to come right back again.”

Patty follows her people everywhere and happily curls up on their laps whenever she can. “Her purr motor kicks into high gear when she feels loved.”

Bieber has grown into a complete love bug who charms everyone he meets. He loves climbing his cat tree and napping at the very top. From there, he spies on the neighbors through the window while soaking up the sunshine. But his favorite place is on the couch beside his humans while they watch TV.

After many weeks in foster care, Bieber has found his forever home. Now, he thrives as the social butterfly he’s become.

Patty loves being the center of attention and her new role as office assistant. “She likes to participate in meetings, hopping onto the desk and walking right in front of the camera whenever she hears people talking. She’s incredibly endearing.”

“She’s also starting to sleep near her humans at night. Every day, she learns something new.”

They found a cat and her kittens wandering around inside a vacant apartment and rushed to get them help.

Homeward Bound Cat Adoptions

Last month, Homeward Bound Cat Adoptions received an urgent request about a mother cat and her four kittens.

While inspecting a unit, an apartment complex manager came upon an unexpected sight. A mother cat and her four kittens had been left behind by the previous tenant, roaming inside the vacant apartment with no one to care for them.

He kept the family fed and safe while searching for a solution. About a week later, someone told him about Homeward Bound Cat Adoptions.

“As soon as he reached out, we took the family in right away,” Vanessa Porter, Executive Director of Homeward Bound Cat Adoptions, told Love Meow.

The devoted mother cat, Chai, had done everything she could to care for her kittens despite the circumstances. She seemed relieved to be found and to know her babies were finally safe. The kittens, Saffron, Chamomile, Earl Grey, and Kombucha, quickly settled into their foster home, curling up together and dozing off on a cozy blanket fort.

“By the time we were contacted, Chai was clearly ready to be done with motherhood.”

When the kittens were weaned and more independent, Chai began to relax and focus on her own needs. She spent her time lounging on her favorite perch and soaking up affection from people.

Now that the kittens were eating solid food on their own, Chai could officially retire from motherhood. She was spayed and placed up for adoption, and she didn’t have to wait long. Shortly after arriving at the adoption center, she charmed her way into the hearts of a loving family.

Meanwhile, the kittens zoomed around their foster home as if they owned the place, claiming every inch they touched, including Vanessa’s lap.

“From the very beginning, they were bright, social, and thriving. Their will to live is very strong; they fear nothing. They’re confident, curious, and full of personality.”

Whenever one kitten discovers a new perch or lookout spot, the others follow. Before long, they’re piled together in a cozy cuddle puddle. The four often move as a clowder, poking their heads out in perfect unison.

The kittens follow their foster mom everywhere like shadows, turning every room into their personal playground.

“They have every toy, tunnel, and climbing tree imaginable, and they go all out until they crash, then they all pile onto me for cuddles,” Vanessa said. “All four are incredibly sweet, gentle purring machines.”

With their mom happily adopted, Vanessa’s resident cat, Regina George, a Homeward Bound Cat Adoptions alum, stepped in to lend a helping paw. She watches over them, offering gentle guidance and passing along her feline wisdom.

The kittens are completely fascinated by her, observing her every move.

“Serendipitously, the names we gave them at intake still match their personalities perfectly. Saffron (the only boy) is the most rambunctious and adventurous. Chamomile is a bit more reserved and prefers to let her big brother test things out first.”

“Earl Grey is probably the second bravest. She’s so strikingly beautiful that she always looks like she’s posing for the camera. Kombucha is the most independent and quietly observant.”

Thanks to their finder and dedicated volunteers, Chai is now the queen of her house and will never be forgotten. Her four kittens are flourishing and well on their way to a bright future filled with love, comfort, and plenty of pampering.

“These little tea-party cuties are growing and soaking up every ounce of love while they get stronger.”
