The rescue team received a call about a mother cat and her four kittens found in a damp, cramped corner of an abandoned house by the river. The family was in a dire condition, nearly unconscious from exhaustion and hunger. The kittens were weak, and the mother cat was too frail to care for them. They had been left in a place that offered no warmth or safety, and their chances of survival were slim without immediate intervention.

On-Site First Aid and Immediate Care

Upon discovering the family, the rescue team carefully moved them to a more open area, where they could receive immediate attention. The first step was to perform basic health checks, including examining the kittens’ eyes, mouths, and breathing. The team provided essential first aid, giving the kittens water with a syringe to cool their bodies down and administering oxygen through a special spray to assist with their breathing.

Medical Care at the Veterinary Clinic

The family was rushed to the veterinary clinic for more advanced treatment. Upon arrival, the veterinarians checked their body temperatures, which were dangerously low (ranging from 35.8°C to 36.3°C). The mother cat and her kittens were immediately placed under infrared heat lamps to warm them up. They were given intravenous fluids and treated with an antidote, as the veterinarians suspected they might have ingested rat poison—especially considering the time of year when farmers often use rodenticide in the fields.

The mother cat was too weak to nurse, so the rescuers fed the kittens warm milk with a syringe to ensure they were nourished. The veterinary team continued to monitor their health closely, providing the care and attention they needed to recover.

Recovery and Healing

After several days of intensive care and close monitoring, the family began to show signs of improvement. The mother cat regained consciousness and started to respond to the love and care being given to her. The kittens, once frail and lethargic, became more active, playful, and energetic. They began to eat pate on their own, which was a huge milestone in their recovery.

A New Beginning for the Family

Thanks to the dedication and care provided by the rescue team and veterinary staff, this family of cats overcame the dangers they faced. Once at the brink of death, they are now thriving in a safe and loving environment. They have been given a fresh start, free from the dangers that once threatened their lives.

Today, the mother cat and her kittens are happy and healthy, beginning a new chapter in a home filled with warmth, care, and love.
