New York Rescue Mission For Pregnant Cat Takes An Unexpected Turn
Recently, rescuers from Little Wandered NYC received an urgent call to rescue a pregnant community cat.
They answered the call without hesitation, not realising they were about to meet the whole colony.
Wasting no time, the rescuers placed a humane trap and settled in to wait for the heavily pregnant cat.
But hours passed with no sign of her. Instead, the tempting scent of food inside the trap drew out an unexpected visitor…
The Unexpected Visitor
The rescuers were stunned to see a seven-month-old kitten emerging from the clutter, desperate for some food. They shared in an interview:
“We were trying to rescue the super pregnant tabby and got her instead.”
However, this curious kitten wasn’t just hungry. It turned out she needed help more than anyone.
The rescuers took the kitten, affectionately named her Chaos, and brought her to the vet. They revealed a grim prognosis…
Chaos was FeLV positive, and getting her off the streets was what she needed. Despite being positive for Feline Leukemia, she still had a chance to live a good life with the right care. The rescuers shared:
“She is a Little Wanderers kitten now. We want to give Chaos a chance to live indoors and experience a life free from neglect, starvation, and suffering.”
Chaos’s Transformation
During her two-day stay at the vet, Chaos lived up to her name. At first, she was tense and resisted any attempts to handle or treat her.
But everything shifted when a foster volunteer welcomed her into a safe, quiet home.
Her anxiety melted away, and soon she was happily rolling onto her back, eager for affection. The rescuers shared:
“Once thought to be semi-feral, Chaos is thankfully just a bit skittish but happy to be indoors. Female orange tabbies are unusual (about 20% of orange tabbies are female), and Chaos is no exception.”
Given that she grew up on the streets, Chaos quickly settled into her foster home. She filled the rooms with her adorable meows and chirps, letting everyone know who’s in charge.
Chaos confidently explored the entire house and found ways to thrive. She relaxed so much that she even started snuggling next to her foster mom on the couch. The fosterer said:
“This girl is a true lover. She’s constantly purring. She loves to sleep, but she’s also getting very brave and has started to explore new areas of the house.”
A Happy Ending
While Chaos was learning to enjoy her new life indoors, the rescuers continued their search for the pregnant cat.
Fortunately, they found her and successfully rescued her just moments before she went into labor.
Eventually, both cats received the help they urgently needed. Chaos is now living a happy life indoors with her foster mom, safe from dangers and hunger.
The other cat is taking care of her babies in a safe place. Chaos’s foster mom shared:
“I believe with my whole heart she’ll find someone to love her forever, no matter how long that will be.”
Thanks to the rescuers’ quick action and Chaos’s bravery in approaching them, she’ll enjoy the rest of her life in the best way possible.
