A litter of five kittens were brought to the Humane Society for Hamilton County in Indiana after they were found outside without a mother.

They were born to a barn cat, who left them one day and never came back for them. "They were unsocialized so they arrived scared and hissy, and would cuddle together and collectively hiss at me when I got close to them," Kelsey Minier, a foster volunteer of the shelter, shared with Love Meow.

Kelsey set up a comfortable and quiet space for the kittens to relax and decompress, and provided plenty of food at their disposal.
