Picture seven small fluffy balls, with eyes just starting to open, fighting to survive. This was the harsh reality for a group of kittens who were left all alone and defenseless.
Luckily, fate stepped in, and these adorable little ones were taken to a safe haven filled with love and attention – Penny Richards’ foster home.
Penny, a seasoned foster parent for the Animal Welfare League of Arlington (AWLA), has a huge heart and amazing skiIIs when it comes to looking after baby kittens who have lost their mothers.
When she got the message about these tiny babies needing to be fed with a bottle, she didn’t waste a second. Time was running out, and the lives of these delicate creatures were at stake.
They were just born, maybe even less than a day old, as Penny shаrеd in an interview:
For kittens, it’s important to get their mother’s special milk in the first day after birth. Without it, they’re really weak.
But Penny made sure these kittens didn’t lose hope. She took care of them likе a mother would.
Luckily, they were in pretty good shape, even though they were really tiny. The smallest one, David, was only 67 grams, which is as heavy as a few tablespoons!
