Every mother’s instinct, no matter if human or animal, is to protect her children, and what this cat did in New South Wales, Australia, is the perfect example of what a mother can do to save her creatures.
A passerby spotted a family of cats, composed by a mom and her three kittens, on the side of the road.
When they arrived, the cat walked to the rescuers, and led them right where her three kittens were. She was skin and bones, and clearly had tried all she could to keep her creatures fed and safe.
The four cats needed medical care, and when they arrived at the shelter, it was obvious they were starving. Upon assessing their condition, the vets realized that the three kittens had eyelid agenesis, a congenital condition that caused them to have no eyelids, and would have led them to blindness if they didn’t receive a proper treatment.
They were fed and bathed, and allowed to rest on comfortable beds. Medication was also administered and the feline mom, Elodie, was faring better, especially after being spayed.
Jenny, the rescue group founder, mentioned that they landed in the right place at the right time.
