Pregnant Cat Is Abandoned In Woodlands, But Is Found By A Dog Walker And Gives Birth To Two Healthy Kittens

While the whole world is still fighting the invisible enemy COVID-19, there are some who have fights of their own. These are abandoned animals, who, in the face of the crisis, are often forgotten. On March 11, a pregnant cat along with two other cats was dumped in a cardboard box in the woodlands to fight for her and her kittens’ lives.

The three cats were found in the woodlands in Cuxton by a woman who was walking her dog in the morning. She took them to a nearby RSPCA center, where they were all checked. The medical checkup showed that one of the cats was heavily pregnant. “It must have been very frightening for them to have been left this way. We understand that people’s circumstances change, but there’s never an excuse to abandon animals like this,” says Kirsten Ormerod from RSPCA to Bored Panda.

The good news is that the pregnant cat named Maude was given proper medical care and gave birth to two healthy kittens. In a recent Facebook post, RSPCA shared that “Maude and her kittens have gone on to live their dream lives” and found their forever homes. We’re glad that even though the start of their lives might have been rough, they have now found loving families!

    I am a Brazilian digital artist who loves transforming imagination into hyper-real visuals. I work with artificial intelligence and image editing to create what I always wondered as a child: how would our favorite characters look in real life? Over time, many of my artworks have gone viral and were featured in international publications. I have recreated realistic versions of cartoon characters such as Disney and The Simpsons, imagined how celebrities who died young would look today, and even gave modern faces to historical figures like Mona Lisa or Shakespeare. Beyond entertainment, I created Para Não Esquecer, a social project that revisits memorable criminal cases in Brazil. My goal is to honor victims, keep memory alive and remind society that justice and empathy matter. I also write for Bored Panda, where I create articles featuring artists, photographers, rescue stories and feel-good moments from around the world. My work aims to highlight creativity, kindness and emotional storytelling. In everything I do, my purpose is the same: to touch hearts, evoke emotion and make people feel something real.

    Horrible "pet owners" dumping these beautiful helpless creatures. I wish them a happy adoption and life full of tuna and laser toys

    I love her little checkerboard face! And all of those cats are adorable. And the tiny orange tabby! So cute :)

    Her little face is perfect! As you say, they are all adorable. Unlike grotty people. 🤬

    I want the abandonment of animals to be added to the definition of animal abuse and I want animal abuse to have severe repercussions, starting with heavy fines and a ban on pet-owning, and prison terms at the extreme end.

    The UK has an Abandonment Act. It is an offence for the owner, or any person having charge or control of an animal, to abandon it, whether permanently or not, in circumstances likely to cause it any unnecessary suffering. Unfortunately, the problem is usually catching the evil bastards.

    Aww she looks so much like my little (or maybe not so much so as she is 21 years old now) Mousie. I can’t believe that people can do this to animals

    Very happy that the beautiful cats were found and looked after. Anything could of happened to them if they were not found.

    Many thanks to the lady that found these kitties + took them to the RSPCA so they can find their forever homes. :)

    Whoever dumped poor Maude never loved her in the first place. Circumstances may change, but your love for your pet should not. Last week, one of my indoor kitties took off out the front door whilst I was taking out the rubbish. I recruited friends and family to help look for her. I barely slept that night due to high anxiety. I put up a post on my local SPCA website. Fortunately, she found her way home 25 hours later. It was probably the worst 25 hours of my life. So, having said that, I stand by my opening statement. I am very glad that Maude and her kittens have found their forever homes.

    That sounds like my own version of hell -- losing my cat and not knowing if he's okay -- so glad everything turned out okay

    Beautiful cats, all of them. It's sad to think that there's people out there who would rather dump them in a cardboard box in the woods than just take them to a shelter, if they can't take care of them anymore.

    oh my god okay this cat is beautiful and majestic and her kittens are adorable, gorgeous creatures and anyone who would abandon such precious cats is a cruel hearted devil, especially when one of them was carrying kittens
