In a touching rescue effort, a group of four tiny kittens, estimated to be around two weeks old, have been discovered seeking refuge under wooden pallets at a local Mackay business. Responding swiftly, the team at Mackay Pet Rescue Inc made it their priority to provide immediate care, arriving on-site shortly after receiving a phone call about the situation. With much to their surprise, no injuries were found. The four tiny kittens were placed on warm towels and a heating pad. Soon after they were taken into the hands of a foster carer at the pet rescue sanctuary.
Efforts to reunite them with their mother were unsuccessful as the large number of feral cats in the area made it impossible to identify the mama cat. Despite the setback, the kittens were placed under the care of an experienced foster carer, housed in a large area where they will receive round-the-clock care and food every two hours for the next few weeks.
Expressions of interest for adoption will be considered once the kittens reach the age of six weeks, due to their fragile state. Their journey to recovery will be closely monitored, with updates provided on their progress.
Through the selfless actions of the team at Mackay Pet Rescue Inc and the unwavering support of their foster carer, these kittens have been granted a second chance at life.
