Mother Cat And Kittens Rescued From Despair

A brave mama cat and her six kittens have found refuge with Mackay Pet Rescue Inc. after a challenging start to their lives.

Last Tuesday afternoon, the mother cat, who is severely malnourished and skeletal thin, was discovered in a shed with her two-week-old kittens. The kind person who initially found the cats attempted to give away the vulnerable family to shoppers in the carpark of Petbarn in Greenfields.

Thankfully, the compassionate Petbarn staff stepped in, recognising the urgent need for extensive care. They then encouraged the finder to surrender the cats to Mackay Pet Rescue Inc.

In a quick response, a foster carer arrived at Petbarn to rescue the family, and now, they are safe and sound in a caring environment, where they have access to a soft bed and much-needed food.

The rescue organisation is dedicated to ensuring that both the mother and her kittens receive the care and nourishment they deserve. And with continued support, this fury family will have the opportunity to thrive and find their loving ‘fur-ever’ homes. As they begin their recovery, updates on their progress will be shared to the Mackay Pet Rescue Inc Facebook page.
