Kittens need their mothers, but sometimes, the mother and kittens need help from humans as well.

Being a cat mom is one hard job, even without nosy humans sticking said noses into these moms' business. That's why we have entire hilarious collections of pictures of cat moms overwhelmed with the realities of parenthood. It's why, oftentimes, when new cat moms live with humans, these cat moms bring their babies to their humans for babysitting duties and go nap in a different room, recuperating from working hard. From the outside, it's hilarious and silly, but for these moms… they are exhausted, working their cute fluffy booties off, and they don't need extra problems in their lives.

In the story shared on r/blackcats, one woman decided to be a whole problem. She didn't want cats on her roof, so she just decided that the newborn kittens she found on there should be moved. Without searching out the mother to trap her and move her with the kittens. Without caring for the kittens herself. On the roof, a group of teenagers was bringing food to the momma cat and kittens, but this woman didn't warn them either, and didn't bother bringing food for the kittens herself. She just decided to be a problem.

Thankfully, another neighbor found the kittens where she had dumped them, and they were not going to stand for something like this. They tried explaining first, letting this woman know that kittens need their moms, but she didn't care and wouldn't listen. So, the neighbor took it in their own hands, and fast forward later, the kittens are reunited with their mom, have a great human taking care of them, and a forever home already found for all of them with a friend of the person taking care of them.

We can only imagine how worried the momma cat must have been when she went back for her kittens and they were all gone. Thank oyou so much for reuniting them all.

And they are absolutely precious. A variety bunch like no other. The fact that you managed to get them all adopted together to that farm is absolutely incredible.
