A rescue cat mama who lost her kittens, found happiness again when she met a tiny orphaned kitten in need of love. She took him in as her own.
Meet Ember the mama cat and Flame the kitten.
Atlanta Humane Society
Ember the cat was grieving after losing her own babies due to a severe illness. Meanwhile, a tiny singleton, Flame, was brought to the Atlanta Humane Society in desperate need of a mother's love.
Flame was taken into a foster home soon after he arrived in the shelter. The kitten lost his own mother and was too young to survive on his own.
That's when staff at the Atlanta Humane Society thought that they could try putting the baby in with Ember and see if she would accept him.

"When Mama Ember first saw Flame, you could tell she was immediately in love. She started snuggling him, cleaning him, and encouraging him to feed. It was absolutely adorable," Christina Hill of the Atlanta Humane Society told Love Meow.
It was an immediate bond.
