Nashville Family Follow Cries In Their Backyard Only To Find Two Desperate Souls Needing Help

It’s heartbreaking to imagine how frightened and lonely these two tiny kittens must have been, left all alone in a backyard and crying for someone to notice them.

While their start in life was rough, the good news is their story takes a heartwarming turn — and I’m about to tell you all about it.

In Nashville, Tennessee, a compassionate family heard the desperate meows and decided to investigate. What they found were two pure white kittens, grubby from neglect, crawling with fleas, and clearly in need of a good meal.

Thankfully, the family located them and immediately contacted Nashville Cat Rescue, a group that helps homeless cats and kittens. They shared in an interview:

“They were filthy and covered in fleas and dirt. It took many baths to get them clean.”

Two amazing volunteers, Nathan and Becca, took the kittens in. They made sure to feed them with bottles around the clock, cleaned them up, and gave them lots of love.

The kittens, named Adele and Squeak, thrived in their new home. They became super cuddly and playful, always wanting to snuggle on their foster parents’ laps and explore their new space. 

However, their journey had its tough moments. When they were first rescued, they were scared and all alone, as Nathan and Becca mentioned:

“Both kittens are small for their age and love to comfort-nurse on blankets and our hands – a symptom of not having a mama kitty to nurse as babies. Otherwise, they are in great shape and adore other cats and everyone they meet.”

So, the caring foster parents realized they had to do everything possible to save these kittens. They spent many hours bottle-feeding them, cleaning them up, and showering them with love and attention. 

There were times when it looked like Adele and Squeak might not pull through. They were so weak and delicate, and it was a constant struggle to keep them healthy. 

But Nathan and Becca never lost hope. They pushed through the hard times, and eventually, Adele and Squeak started to get better.

As the kittens got bigger and stronger, their unique personalities started to show. They were super playful, curious about everything, and full of energy. They loved to check out their surroundings and play with people. 

Adele and Squeak shared an unbreakable bond, spending nearly every moment together — chasing toys, curling up for naps, and keeping each other company. Their friendship was undeniable, and watching them interact made it clear how deeply they cared for one another.

Life in foster care brought its share of highs and lows. There were joyful days filled with play and progress, but also moments when uncertainty and fear crept in. Through it all, Nathan and Becca stayed dedicated, offering the love and stability the kittens needed to feel safe.

When the time finally came for Adele and Squeak to be adopted, it was a moment filled with mixed emotions. Nathan and Becca were overjoyed knowing the kittens would have a bright future, yet saying goodbye to their little companions was no easy task.

But they understood it was time for Adele and Squeak to begin a new adventure. Luckily, they were adopted by a family that already had a bunch of other cats, and soon enough, they fit right in.

The family was thrilled to welcome Adele and Squeak into their lives, knowing they would give the kittens all the love and care they deserved. Foster Kittens shared on their Instagram:

“Our adoption is complete and of course they wouldn’t sit still for the photo! The snowballs went home with their mom and dad today and have a house full of kitties waiting on their arrival.”

It must have been tough for Becca and Nathan to say goodbye, but they understood that the kittens were going to a caring home, and that was what really counted.

Becca and Nathan will no doubt carry the memory of Adele and Squeak with them forever. These two little kittens weren’t just rescues — they were tiny teachers, showing their humans the true meaning of love, compassion, and the powerful bond that can form between people and animals.

The couple feels deeply grateful for the opportunity to give them a safe place and a second chance, and their story serves as a gentle reminder that every act of rescue matters. Hopefully, their experience will inspire more people to open their hearts and homes to animals in need.
