A feline returned to her caring neighbor, wanting her kittens to thrive and have a brighter future.

In a quaint neighborhood in Ontario, Canada, a loving family was taken by surprise when a stray cat made herself at home in their yard. They provided her with food, and soon enough, she became a regular guest, eagerly seeking attention by playfully pawing at their screen door when hungry.
Upon discovering that the cat actually belonged to a nearby family who allowed her outdoors despite the cold weather, the kind-hearted neighbors stepped in to care for her, ensuring she stayed warm and well-fed during her visits.
As time went on, the tabby cat seamlessly became part of the community of strays and ferals, eventually giving birth to a litter of kittens who mysteriously disappeared. When she returned to her neighbor’s house one day in a distressed state, they immediately took her to the vet for treatment of infections and injuries sustained from her time outdoors and skirmishes with other animals.

Upon noticing the pregnant cat returning once more, the friendly neighbor took it upon themselves to ensure her safety. They contacted Mellissa, the creator of the Small Yet Powerful Kitten Save organization, and successfully placed the soon-to-be mother in foster care.
The adorable tabby, lovingly named Hazel, was thrilled to have access to high-quality food and a cozy shelter. Mellissa affectionately recounted, “She would get just as excited for her meals as she did to see me. She would take a few bites, then come over to me to be petted before returning to her food.”

“When I brought her food, she was so full of joy, rolling around and happily showing me her belly.”
After a couple of weeks, Hazel welcomed six lively kittens in a cozy nest. She immediately embraced her mommy role, caring for her small hazelnuts with love, purring and kneading to make them feel safe.

Devouring her meals and tidying up her bowl with precision, the dedicated momma cat had all the nourishment she needed, thanks to Mellissa who made sure to keep her supplies stocked. Mellissa also showered her with affection and care all day long.
“Hazel is an exceptional mother, and her kind heart makes her one of the most wonderful cats I’ve come across! She is constantly looking after her kittens, rushing to their side at the slightest sound of distress,” Mellissa shared with Love Meow.

When the kittens were just 11 days old, they began to recognize Mellissa’s presence in the room and would clumsily make their way over seeking her attention.
Maci, the kitten with tiger stripes, stood out as the feisty one among the group. She attempted to walk before mastering her balance, but still managed to purr and make her opinions known. “She’s the first one to really show her personality,” Mellissa observed.
Maci, the adorable kitten with striking patterns, was rescued by the Tiny but Mighty rescue organization. As soon as they were old enough to move into a larger space, the kittens wasted no time in exploring every corner and crevice. The caretaker marveled at their bravery, noting that they were already eager to fearlessly discover their surroundings.
Hazelnuts the kittens are under the care of the Tiny but Mighty Kitten Rescue. Momma Hazel is always on guard, ready to rush to her babies’ side at the slightest sound of distress. She lovingly cleans them from top to bottom, embracing them tightly to ensure they don’t wiggle away during bath time.
I feel grateful that she didn’t have to go through the ordeal of giving birth in harsh outdoor conditions. She will soon be spayed, ensuring she never has to go through pregnancy or labor again.
Hazel the feline is an amazing mother who takes care of her kittens with love and care. At the Tiny but Mighty Kitten Rescue, Conner, the tabby, was the first one among his siblings to try out some kitten food after observing his mom enjoy a meal from a bowl. Soon enough, Maci also followed Conner’s lead and learned to eat like a grown-up cat. And before you knew it, Evie, the grey and white kitten, also joined in on the morning mealtime fun.
The little kittens from Tiny but Mighty Kitten Rescue are now five weeks old and doing really well, thanks to their loving cat mom. They get super excited whenever they get a new toy or bed and waste no time in playing with them. There’s nothing better than snuggling up with a warm, purring pile of kittens.

Maci, who has assumed the position of the older sister, was the first one to relax on the oversized scratching post and in the brand-new hammock. She wasted no time in convincing her siblings to do the same.
Maci, the small kitten, is brimming with personality according to the Tiny but Mighty Kitten Rescue. Despite being the runt of the litter, Coco shines with her vibrant personality. Mellissa shared with Love Meow that Coco is the most vocal in the group and always meows for attention, especially when she hears someone entering the kitten room.
Coco may be the smallest in the litter, but she’s got a big personality. Thanks to Tiny but Mighty Kitten Rescue, Hazel and her kittens are safe and sound in their cozy foster home. Hazel is over the moon to have a loving family caring for her every whim.
During her rare moments of peace and quiet away from her kittens, Hazel seeks out Mellissa for some much-needed TLC. She craves the attention and affection, basking in the love she receives.
