For a stray cat named Tala in particular, a mother’s love knows no boundaries.
A man called Vincent from Santa Ana, California, was unwinding at home one evening in August when he abruptly became aware of an intruder inside.
Fortunately, it wasn’t a really dangerous person.
Looking up at him was a young female cat, who had presumably broken into the home through the doggy door that his Chihuahua used to go out into the yard.
Noticing how friendly the cat was, Vincent decided to take her in until he could find her owners.
Little did he know, there were more cats where that came from.
A little while afterwards, Tala jumped out outside the dog door and swiftly came back inside carrying a small kitten. After getting the baby comfortable, she quickly left to bring another one inside.
Vincent set up a box with some towels inside the door to keep the family warm for the night while he posted a need for assistance to nearby animal rescue organizations on Facebook. The kittens simply kept coming.
She had taken three kittens into the house by the time he went to bed that night, according to Jacqueline Santiago of Friends For Life Rescue Network, who spoke with The Dodo. There were a total of five when he awoke the next morning.
Vincent was happy to entertain the family of six, but his Chihuahua, who usually is the only one to use the dog door, was taken aback by the full house.
“I think the dog realized Tala needed help and didn’t seem to mind the company,” Santiago said. “He was very sweet to them, sniffing the babies especially. Tala was completely unafraid — somehow she knew it was a safe place to bring her kittens.”
It took roughly a week for Santiago to assist Vincent in setting up a nearby foster home for Tala and her children. The foster parent made sure the kittens, who were just 4 weeks old at the time, received vaccinations and flea treatments following their existence on the streets.
Santiago believed Tala had formerly been someone’s pet because she was so at ease among humans and pets. She wasn’t chipped when the rescue team scanned her.
Santiago said, “She’s a lovely young kid and loves chin rubs.
Although Tala’s kittens have all been adopted, Tala is still awaiting adoption in her foster home.
She’s such a cute kitty, said Santiago. She looks at her foster father with these enormously loving eyes, demonstrating how much she adores him. Since she initially entered Vincent’s home, I believe she genuinely likes guys.
