Tennessee Family Hears Cries In Their Yard And Sees Two Tiny Kittens
A family in Nashville, Tennessee, was in the middle of construction work when they heard faint cries coming from their backyard. At first, they thought it was a single kitten trapped somewhere, but what they found was even more surprising.
Hidden among the debris were two tiny white kittens, both crying out for help. Their fur was matted with dirt and sap, and their meows echoed through the yard, desperate for a mother who never returned.
That discovery marked the beginning of a rescue story that would soon warm countless hearts.
With no mother cat in sight, the family knew the kittens wouldn’t survive long on their own. Acting quickly, they contacted Nashville Cat Rescue, a local organisation known for saving the most vulnerable felines.
The kittens were immediately taken in and given names that suited their sweet personalities, Adele and Squeak.
The duo needed bottle-feeding every few hours, but that didn’t scare off their foster volunteers, Nathan and Becca, who gladly offered to take them in.
“They were filthy and covered in fleas and dirt. It took many baths to get them clean.”
Under the couple’s care, the kittens began to thrive. After weeks of patient feeding, warmth, and love, Adele and Squeak started to grow stronger, their snowy coats finally gleaming as they should.
When they were ready to transition to solid food, Nathan and Becca brought them home, and that’s where their true transformation began.
It didn’t take long for these little snowballs to show just how affectionate they were. Having been deprived of a mother’s love early on, they seemed to crave human closeness even more.
The first time they realised that a lap was a great place for a nap, they both climbed onto Nathan and fell asleep instantly, and when Becca walked in, all three of them were fast asleep.
Adele and Squeak quickly became known as the lap-cat duo. Whenever they spotted a free lap, they made it their mission to fill it.
“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.”
And when they wanted attention, they made sure their humans knew it.
“They both make squeaking crying noises. Squeak is blue-eyed and loves his Foster mom, while Adele has a soft spot for Foster dad.”
The two kittens did everything side by side, playing, cuddling, and exploring every corner of their foster home. They also got along beautifully with the other cats, never shying away from a group cuddle.
“They are the best buds and perfect playmates, but also brave enough to explore on their own.”
Their bond was so strong that their rescuers knew one thing for certain, these two had to stay together forever.
When the time came for adoption, Adele and Squeak didn’t have to wait long. A loving family fell in love with their story and decided to give them the permanent home they deserved, together.
Foster Kittens, who work with Nashville Cat Rescue, shared the joyful update on 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. We’ve even heard plans of Christmas sweaters and a photo shoot.”
The post continued, “We’re so grateful that Squeak and Adele will be loved and cherished in their new home.”
After everything they endured, being abandoned, rescued, and nurtured back to health, these two snowy kittens finally got their happily ever after.
And thanks to their new mum Rachel, they’ll never have to cry for help again.
