Five kittens were rescued on a Gold Coast Beach in Australia last night. Residents and tourists spotted someone dumping the kittens along with the mother cat near the North Burleigh Surf Life Saving Club.
Though the rescuers were able to retrieve all the kittens in about two hours, the mother cat was nowhere to be found.
Until this morning, a few people heard meowing coming from a storm water drain. They contacted the RSPCA who later received help from the Queenland Fire and Rescue Service. They “hosed the drain” to try to get the cat out. Eventually they were able to capture the mother cat and reunite the entire furry family.
All the cats will receive foster care until they are ready to be put up for adoption. Scroll down to see more pictures.

I'm so glad the whole family was rescued. These kitties have such beautiful markings.
I am sad that people dump kitties litke that. Hope all of them get loving forever homes. They are all so cute, including mother cat.
Some people are really heartless; I will never understand humans who don't care for animals, never want to…These are beautiful kitties and I hope they all get loving homes.
that's a pretty bunch!! And the mom looks like a kitten herself!
This is so moving. How can anyone dump an animal, not to mention a mother cat with her young babies?!
