Momma Cat Who Lost Her 3 Kittens United With 3 Abandoned Kittens Who Needed A New Mom

Even the most terrible life events can turn into hidden blessings. Mikey, an 8-month-old cat that had recently given birth to three kittens, was devastated when the kittens died – they were born prematurely and had died of weakness. Luckily, a nearby shelter had just what she needed – 3 abandoned kittens looking for an adoptive mother.

The kittens came from Amanda Lowe, a foster mother for abandoned kittens at the Dori’s Darlings shelter organization in Houston, Texas. After sharing some soothing words with Mikey, Lowe introduced her to the three new kittens and they bonded instantly, hugging them and licking them like they were her own. 15 minutes later, she allowed them to breastfeed as well.

The fact that Mikey’s kittens are adopted from a shelter is fitting in its own way – Mikey was adopted by her owners as well, who thought she was a boy until a visit to the vet revealed that she was a pregnant mom.

There is a beast with heart of cold stone that dashes like lightning, shreds flesh from bone. // Bewitched by this beast, I fell to my knees. My mouth babbled madness and mumbled soft pleas. // I stared down the ravenous, gnashing dark maw of a cute cuddly kitten with yarn in its paw
