'I rescued a lot kitten': Feral momma cat comes back for her kitten 6 weeks after it was rescued, fearlessly waiting outside the rescuer's door

Rescuing a kitten is an amazing thing to do. It's a heroic thing to do, and that's how we, here at ICHC, treat such a thing. To rescue a kitten in need is a selfless act, it's something that most people would not even think of doing, and it's pretty much always a good thing. Pretty much always. You do have to be careful. You do have to remember that this kitten that you want to bring into your family also comes from its own family, and maybe - just maybe - there is a momma cat somewhere out there, looking for its kitten.

This is something that we always recommend: if you're rescuing an itty bitty kitten from the street, do stick around for a little while and make sure that you are not separating it from its momma. Now, we don't know if the person in this story did this, but we do know that they did the right thing. This kitten needed help, urgently, and her mom coming back to look for her doesn't change that. It just means that this rescuer may have signed up to adopting 2 cats instead of one without knowing it.

Well, we don't know if we are the ones who should be informing you of this, but we think that you have two cats now. Sure, the momma is a feral, but she's only a feral… for now. Soon enough, the desire for food and cuddles and generally being spoiled will take over, and your little family will grow by one more.

"I captured this little girl on the street infront of a nearby grocery store. The workers said she was abandoned and would run away when someone tried to pick her up, held her tight and gave her snug while walking home."

And do not doubt yourself, you totally did the right thing by saving the kitten. Yeah, for a second we did think to ourselves that maybe you should have looked for the mom a little bit longer, but nope, with all the health issues that this kitty has, you 100% did right by saving her. Because that's what you did. You saved her.
