A kitty cry caught a woman’s attention one day after trying to find out where it came from, she called for help. It was something that Yakima firefighters had never seen before.

A cat was found in a 25-foot deep hole hidden in the woman’s backyard. Mai Tai the cat went missing one day, and they went on a search for a month, but it was to no avail. “We never had any word of her or any sign of her and we really had given up,” said Doris Matson, Mai Tai’s human. (NBC KNDO)

No one knew where the kitty went after her disappearance, but it turns out that Mai Tai somehow ventured into her neighbor’s backyard and into the hidden hole.

“For the last three days I had heard a cat meowing around,” said Virginia the neighbor. She realized that the crying came from her bushes and called animal control.

“He probed and he had a light and he switched around, nothing happened. He said, but I can hear the cat,” she added.

Animal control then contacted the fire department. They removed a shrub and discovered a 25-foot deep hole hiding in her backyard and a cat trapped inside.

The firefighters made a makeshift basket with some cat food in it and lowered it down to retrieve the cat. Mai Tai appeared to have lost a lot of weight, but is otherwise healthy.

“It’s a miracle. It’s kind of a miracle story I think. At least we feel like it is, we thought she was gone, just totally gone,” said Doris.

Frank and Beans, two tiny kittens, were found behind dumpsters by an airport ground service worker.

Reddit user Johnny was throwing out trash when he heard kitty cries near the dumpsters. He spotted the kittens and knew right away he had to do something to help the little ones. Hoping to find the cat mother, “I waited 6 hours from when I first heard them crying,” he said. With no mother cat in sight, he decided to take the kittens with him.

In the next week or so, he kept an eye out for the cat mother, but no cat came for the babies. In the meantime, he had started bottle feeding the little babies around the clock.

When asked if he was keeping the kittens, he said “Yes, I am attached.”

Petunia the cat was found with a big belly that was ready to pop. What she didn’t know was that her journey from the day she delivered her kittens till the day they were all adopted out was witnessed by thousands of people on the internet.

On March 18, six tiny babies were born healthy at Roche’s Fort Langley home of Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS). Petunia, a young cat, jumped into the role of a mom right away and started grooming and nursing the little ones.

Thousands of people around the world watched the kittens grow from tiny fuzz balls whose eyes weren’t even opened to playful little kitties that wreaked hevoc around the foster home. Through a kitty cam, Petunia and her litter of kittens touched the hearts of thousands upon thousands. People couldn’t get enough of their cuteness.

Just a few days ago, they were on their way to their forever homes. It was bitter sweet to the caretakers at LAPS, but knowing they will be living in a permanent home with people that love them, it makes all the hard work worthwhile.
