Woman Finds Feral Kittens That Look Just Like Cartoon Alleycats
The fact that feral cats exist at all is upsetting to me. I wish they could all have loving homes where they're treated like royalty, but unfortunately, that's not the case. So, whenever we can, we need to be looking out for them.
One woman had no idea she was going to stumble upon a whole group of feral cats on this day, but she did. It wasn't just that, though; they looked exactly like the kind of alleycats you see in cartoons:

Katie Liner found these 6 kittens at random, but she's lucky she did. It looks like it was a rainy day, which can be really harmful for kittens this small. They have a tough time keeping warm, and if they live in a consistently humid area, they're at risk for respiratory infections.
In this video, there are only 5 kittens present, but she later found a 6th one hiding in the bushes. She also apparently knows the mama cat, and she's taken all 6 kittens and mama in to make sure they're okay. Once the kittens are old enough, she's adopting them out!

Now that they're inside and familiar with safety, they've gotten a lot less spicy. She has them resting in a box when their mama is away, and they don't even seem to mind when she gets close to them:
@problematic_leo73 Replying to @basil_and_obsidian if you are in the Louisville, KY/southern Indiana area, they will be up for rescue/adoption soon! free, of course, to good home! #kittens#feralkitties#cats

They're so cute! I'm happy they'll be going to forever homes soon. If she hadn't caught them in time, no one knows what could have happened to them.
Rehabilitating Feral Cats Is Tough
Feral cats are not easy. They've never been around people before, or if they have, something has typically happened that has left them distrusting of humans completely. It's so sad.
In most cases, when you want to help feral cats, the kindest thing to do is TNVR: trap, neuter, vaccinate, and release. They're not fit for life as pets, most of the time, and a lot of them won't be happy. However, it can be easier to rehabilitate feral kittens because:
- They're younger.
- They haven't had negative experiences with humans yet.
- They're less likely to have age-related health issues.
Kittens are also easier to train, which can make them more "desirable" to prospective adopters. Luckily, these sweet alley cats were rescued just in the nick of time!
