Mama Cat and Newborns Kittens are the Most Adorable 'Walmart Find'
An animal rescue worker is making everyone on the Internet super jealous with what she found at her local Walmart store's outdoor living department in Arkansas. Listen, as someone who shops a lot I have never returned home with anything this fantastic. Sale dish towels? Sure. Newborn kittens and their mama? Never!
Just take a look at this very special Walmart find!
The sweet video was shared by the TikTok account for @sarahmrichardson86 and people are so jealous of this 'Walmart find.' One person commented, "I would have grabbed that box so fast, scanned my premium seat pads, paid and went home.So glad they were rescued." Another added, "So sweet! Cracking up a little at the “Scotchguard” fabric for the cushions on the box. Mama said let’s see." LOL! Another replied, "One of my cats was a Walmart kitten! Their litter was Wally, Marty, Martha, and wallDrug."
The video poster shared that mama and her babies are all safe and being looked after at her cat rescue in Arkansas. Awwwww.
If you ever want to help a stray mama cat and her babies, unless you find them in a Walmart or at another store there are certain steps you should take!
What To Do If You Find a Mama Cat and Her Babies
You should first observe from a distance, because if the cat is feral she may run off and leave her babies if you approach her.
If mama seems friendly, in need of help, or is she leaves the babies and you can sneak close by, you can provide her with a safe and warm place to keep them, either a cardboard box or a storage bin with no lid, and towels or blankets. You can also leave food and water. If the cat is in a dangerous spot like near a road you can place the shelter away from it but within her line of vision in hopes mama will relocate her babies there.
You should ask your neighbors and on social media if anyone has lost their cat because sometimes mom cats will stray from home to give birth in privacy.
The Humane Society suggests that it’s never too soon to start contacting local rescue groups and shelters about foster care, low-cost spay/neuter and other veterinary resources, and trap-neuter-return programs in your region. Check out our tips for identifying animal welfare organizations and other resources in your region.
If the mom cat or babies seem sick or injured, place them in a carrier and take them to the vet or your local animal rescue group.
We are so glad this sweet cat ended up at this wonderful rescue to help her with her kittens! I'm sure they will all be healthy and safe now, and hopefully will all get spayed or neutered when they are ready and go to wonderful homes.
