Kelsey And This Sweet Mama Kitty Formed A Bond.

Kelsey first met Sergeant Whiskers while she was six weeks into her tour. She patiently worked to gain the cat's trust and nursed her back to health. Then this gentle mama kitty introduced her to her two nursing-aged kittens. She had hidden them near the base, but far away from humans.

For Kelsey and her fellow soldiers, Sergeant Whiskers and her adorable kittens were a source of comfort in what were also unthinkably harsh conditions. And it's for this reason that Sgt. Kelsey decided to find a safe harbor for them in the U.S. She knew this mama kitty and her babies needed a warm home and a loving family, Yahoo! reports.
