Before leaving the area and getting the kittens to safety, Ariana set a safe, humane trap for the stray with the intention of returning the next morning and hopefully being able to save her.

The next morning, Ariana returned to find the stray safe and sound inside the trap.

She brought the stray with her, excited to reunite her with her babies who'd been well taken care of by Antionette, another volunteer at the rescue.



Antionette had brought the little kittens home with her and made sure to get them clean, deflead, fed, and comfortable.

The kittens were very happy to be pampered and despite having lived on the streets, they were healthy and active and loved exploring their new foster home.

The mama cat did not fully trust the humans who rescued her, but was overjoyed when she was reunited with her kittens.

The kittens were thrilled to see their mother and rushed over to her side.
