Cookie the cat misplaced her infants — then she accepted Crumb the kitten “as her own.”
“She took right up with the kitten,” Heart of the Foothills Animal Rescue of North Carolina informed McClatchy News in an electronic mail. “It was a very emotional ordeal. We were so ecstatic that Cookie took the baby in as her own.”
But these “touching” moments have been surrounded by hardship. Cookie arrived on the Rutherford County rescue pregnant after she was noticed at an RV park, in response to the e-mail and social media posts from the animal organization.
A number of weeks after Cookie’s March 23 arrival, she delivered three stillborn kittens.
“Cookie would have died had she still been living outside on her own, they had to physically pull all three babies out to save her life,” Heart of the Foothills wrote April 11 in a Facebook put up.
Then a number of days after the “traumatic” supply, the rescue welcomed 2-week-old kitten Crumb. A person reportedly took in her mother as a stray earlier than she gave delivery, then escaped.
“He was doing the best he could by trying to bottle feed the kitten but he was terrified the kitten was going to die,” the rescue wrote.
So Cookie’s foster mother launched her to Crumb, and the baby started “nursing non stop,” heartwarming photographs present. But extra unhealthy information was in retailer.
“After the kitten started nursing, it stimulated contractions and (Cookie) had another dead baby and then … another dead baby,” the rescue wrote in its April 15 electronic mail, including that Cookie later acquired an X-ray confirming she’s not anticipating any extra kittens.
Though Cookie will go up for adoption, Crumb might return home with the person who introduced her to the rescue. The organization is predicated in Rutherfordton, a roughly 55-mile drive southeast from the favored mountain city of Asheville.
