A volunteer a Little Wanderers, Ariana, immediately jumped into action and went to bring the little family to safety.

After several hours of searching the neighbourhood in which they'd been spotted, Ariana finally laid eyes on the stray.

Unfortunately, the mama was very scared of people and ran off before Ariana could bring her to safety.

Ariana was relieved to at least be able to find and rescue all the little kittens, but she knew that she had to save their mother too.

She'd worked so hard to keep her babies safe, but she also deserved to be safe and cared for.
