A stray cat mama gave birth in the yard in Parc Prison in Bridgend, UK. The staff at the prison rescued the kittens and helped catch the cat mama so they could be reunited at Cats Protection Bridgend Adoption Centre.

“An employee arrived at work to find some unexpected arrivals in the yard. Nested in the truck was a cat with her 6 new born kittens,” said Cats Protection Bridgend Adoption Centre. “Our centre was approached for help, the kittens were no problem but mum proved difficult to catch despite help from staff.”

“The kittens were taken back to the centre, they were fostered by one of our cat carers and bottle fed every 2 hour through the day and night whilst plans were made to catch the mum.”

“Thankfully the plans were successful and 24 hrs later Mum was safely caught and brought back to the centre to be reunited with her kittens. We were apprehensive as there was a risk that she would reject her kittens. A smearing of cat food applied to the kittens fur to disguise human smells worked well & mum was soon contentedly nursing her kittens.”

They named the mother cat Agatha & the kittens Christie, Jessica, Marple, Poirot, Kojak, & Sherlock.

Real men love cats. A tiny stray kitten found a Baltimore police officer to be his human dad for life.

“Officer Boyer came to the rescue twice today. First when he came to the aid of a stray kitten and again, a few hours later, when he adopted him. (That now makes Officer Boyer a kitty dad times six.)” - Show Your Soft Side

Updates from Show Your Soft Side:

“We’re happy to announce, the newest addition to Officer Boyer’s family just went home with him this morning – and everybody’s purring.”

Betty is a very special cat mama. “If you look closely (at the picture), you can see a third kitten… a newborn. Sweet Betty accepted, and cared for, two newborns after already caring for her special-needs boys, Niall and Harry,” said Tenth Life on Facebook.

“Then, about a week later, we received a call that three tiny babies were orphaned at an animal control and needed care. We gave the babies to sweet mama Betty, and she didn’t bat an eye – the loving mama nursed and loved those kittens as well!”

“So to all the mamas out there like Betty, we hope you get a well-deserved break and a heap of appreciation today! Whether your babies are furry, scaled, finned… Happy Mother’s Day.” (by Tenth Life)

Kitty passes out on his human dad’s arm after feeding. “It has always cracked me up how kitties can just totally crash like that with someone they trust,” said the human dad via reddit.

“My kitten that has been bottle fed since he was 2 weeks old. He’s a couple of years old now and is the sweetest cat in the world. He absolutely loves everyone, and never scratches.”

They have been bottle feeding him since 2 weeks old…

While Animal Care & Control Team of Philadelphia Philly sees mama cats with kittens come through their door almost single day in the Spring, it’s not everyday they get in a single dad and his kid!

“Congrats to tomcat ‘Pappa Toni’ and his little son ‘Riga Toni’ who were able to go to rescue together so the happy family didn’t have to be separated!”
