Okay so, being a cat momma is a difficult job. Kittens are so energetic, they make so much noise, they require so much work. Sometimes, even cat moms need breaks, and even more than that, sometimes, whether they want to admit it or not, cat mommas need help with their kittens. It's lucky that this momma cat came across such a kind human during her time outside, because when it started getting too hot out there, when it would have been much more difficult to take care of her newborns on her own, a kind person came to the rescue.

Now, the cat mom and the adopting human mom work together, dealing with all those wiggly, squeaky kittens and the trouble that they cause every day. And yes, it is still hard work, but at the very least, now, the momma cat who very much deserved to get a break sometimes, is able to have her mind be at ease, knowing that her babies are in the loving hands of her human.

Having six newborn kittens is not an easy task - for everyone involved. It's difficult for the momma, who has six wiggly squeaky things crawling all over her, demanding to be fed, and for the human, who needs to deal with all of that plus a post-partum cat momma who could definitely use a nap right now.

"Feisty kitten"

via Anusgilmore
These little guys are clearly growing up to be the feisty little things that they are meant to be. Look at that face. That is the face of mischief and shenanigans. Living with these six - excuse us, seven - is going to be a whole adventure, and we want to know every single part of it.
