After having gone without food for a day, a litter of eight orphaned kittens huddled together for warmth. The litter was found in a garden in South Africa. They were all alone, and they were only three days old. The kittens were in desperate need of some love, warmth, and food.

The kind people at The Kitten Cottage in Malmesbury, Western Cape, rescued them and fed them around the clock.

Bernice and Jo-Marie were happy to care for the ginger kittens by bottle feeding them. The group went out in search of the mother cat but weren’t able to find her.

After many sleepless nights, the kittens opened their eyes. They were getting stronger and bigger each day.

The energetic little kittens had some trouble waiting in line for their bottles!

Climbing all over their foster mom seemed like a good way to get fed faster! This is the face of a satisfied kitty!

The litter of kittens just turned 5-weeks old. Jo-Marie said it will be hard to let them go.

All of the babies have learned to eat on their own, and each one has their own personality.

For now, the kittens are all together cuddling (and being kittens) in a foster home. They get love, food, and plenty of warmth!

They are all hoping to find a forever home. Share this story with your friends. If you can help, click here.
