Alissa Smith, co-founder of Wrenn Rescues, received a call about rescuing 10-day-old kittens. Shelter workers in Downey, California had already rescued them but needed more experienced help. Alissa shared:
“There were only 15 minutes left, and no one else was able to take them, but thankfully, the networking group got them out safely, and a wonderful woman named CJ transported them all the way out to Ventura County, California to us.”

These kittens were initially spotted in someone’s yard with their mother, who got scared and ran away when people approached.
Ashley, a foster volunteer, and Jenifer Hurt, the rescue’s co-founder, cared for them with bottle-feeding at the center.
“The kittens were very obviously well taken care of by their cat mama. When orphaned kittens land in the shelter, they don’t usually see their mama again. Another important reason to leave kittens where they are found (and wait for the mom), instead of taking them to the shelter.”

Jenifer and Ashley were prepared to bottle-feed the kittens until weaned, but something wonderful happened!
