Caylee Seymour, the founder of Dorset Rescue Kittens, an animal rights group in Ontario, Canada, was informed about a street cat carrying a litter of five kittens by an animal rights acquaintance.
Behind the storage area, the rescuer discovered a small population of cats. She fed them, and the kittens began to run in separate ways one by one. They were famished and devoured the entire meal.
“She emailed me a picture of the kittens and asked if I could assist them. “Of sure,” I said. “All five infants and their mother were successfully caught,” Kaylie explains.
Koko’s mother cat is supposedly five years old. She was skinny when she arrived with her kittens.
“Coco has spent her entire life on the streets, as far as we know. We feared that she was a savage, but this turned out to be far from the truth.
The family was dirty, scared and cold. “Undoubtedly, they ate leaves and dirt, not finding suitable food for themselves,” says Caylee.
The kittens were very timid at first, but with Koko’s encouragement and infectious courage, they soon grew bolder too. Koko licked their muzzles and let the kids know that they were safe. “She was all turned into love, which she lacked all her life.”
“Koko was so emaciated that I was amazed how her kittens managed to live to eight weeks. We noticed that one of the babies, Chanel, was smaller and quieter than the others.”
Shorty Chanel needed more time and attention from her mom. She was often seen clinging to Coco, purring and moving her little paws. She was already old enough not to drink her mother’s milk, but she continued to do so.
“We’ve seen that one kitten in a litter need a mother for a bit longer.”
While the other four kittens are ready to be adopted in pairs, Chanel and Coco remain the most supportive of one another, doing everything together and not being separated.
“Coco finally began to understand the principle of the house. At first, she lay only on the floor, ignoring the upholstered furniture. She likes to be stroked, but she didn’t know how to ask for it,” says Caylee.
“Now she is cuddling, lying on beds and sofas, and it’s safe to say that she doesn’t feel like going outside at all.”
Little Chanel is restless, inquisitive and an incredible hooligan. She keeps her momma busy by chasing her around the house.
“Koko, in turn, prefers giving and relaxing. She enjoys the love of people, especially loves when her neck and stomach are scratched.
“She was an incredibly attentive mother who dusts Chanel.” “Chanel frequently follows her mother like a shadow, but as she grows older, she opens out and develops her own personality,” Caylee explains.
“They’re either snuggled up affectionately in a ball, or Chanel races about the house, followed by Coco.”
Mother and daughter are already ready to fall into the best hands together. “They would like a quieter family, where they will be in the spotlight.”
Behind her whole life of wandering the streets, and ahead of Coco a new home life in the company of her precious daughter Chanel.
