The Frozen Kittens Were Discovered Just In Time Because They Will Eventually Give Birth To The Most Calm Babies Ever
An abandoned brood of kittens in a little nest that had no evidence of its mother was discovered by a farm worker in Virginia. They were very chilly to the touch and coated with ice. The compassionate lady brought them in straight away and sought the neighborhood animal rights activists for help.
“Colleagues from the Animal Welfare League of Arlington approached me. The mother cat was nowhere to be seen; she may have fled from her newborn kittens when she saw them covered in ice, according to foster care volunteer Penny Richards.
Five newborns survived in critical conditions on the street. What is this if not a miracle?
The kittens (Jameson, Jaeger, Kalua, Hennessy and Morgan) were placed in an incubator to keep their bodies warm and adequately hydrated. They put a gift in a comfortable nest – a convenient toy for hugging.
It was really relieving that they were prepared and quickly seized the bottle of infant formula. Despite having serious bowel infections in two of the kittens, they were generally healthy. One week in, I was already certain that everything would be OK, recalls Penny.
The kittens preferred to spend a long time relaxing on someone’s warm knees after each feeding before going back to the incubator. They’ve mastered the art of rolling over onto their backs to flaunt their freshly acquired round bellies.
Their ears perked up, and their eyes opened. The kittens started to notice their environment and developed a growing fascination in moving items.
The kittens started to walk, hobbling, as soon as their little paws could bear the weight of their bodies. They all got more active, walking, rolling about, and even beginning to play with one another.
It is always fascinating to see how kids mature and how their hearing and eyesight improve, says Penny.
They were fixated on showing compassion to their people. The kittens never longer missed a single free knee within sight after their eyesight had completely grown.
“Growing taller and stronger, they walked around the room longer and longer before feeding, and every day their clumsiness melted away.”
Penny’s household took an active part in the socialization of kittens. All five of the Fluffies got along well with Aaron, the youngest member of the family, and loved to snuggle up to him.
When one kitten gets down on his or her knees, the others do the same, and soon there are several purring kittens instead of just one.
The kittens have matured to the apartment makeover after passing each developmental milestone one at a time.
Penny has a shoulder mate for feedings.
Morgan, the bravest of them all, took on the role of overseeing the process while his siblings ate the formula.
The kittens’ personalities emerged more clearly as they grew older, and their yearning for compassion rose.
They constantly purr and enjoy cuddling. Penny describes it as “cute to the point of impossible.”
Two kittens that were sick with bacterial infections recovered completely after receiving good treatment for many weeks. Standing firmly on their paws, they jumped everywhere with unbridled energy and began to hooligan with terrible force.
When they hear the foster mother’s voice, they run up to her, demand attention, and get onto her lap.
Sometimes they like to sit on the lap of a person astride, and sometimes they crawl into the space between the legs to feel the comfort from all sides.
Jumping from one warm knee to another, the kittens are living the best life they deserve.
The five are six weeks old this Friday. Hennessy, the youngest of the family, has already surpassed the 450-pound mark.
The remaining kittens likewise develop rapidly and even learn to feed themselves.
The five Fluffies have come a long way since the day they were found frozen in ice. They thrive on overexposure and are confidently moving towards their bright future.
