A rescue cat mother and her litter of kittens helped a tiny orphaned kitten who was in need of motherly love.

A cat mama and her five little kittens were abandoned at the vet’s doorstep. A tiny orphaned kitten was desperately looking for a mother’s love. When the sweet mama saw the kitten, she took to her and started caring for her as her own.

“I work for Green Street Rescue, a non profit organization in Philadelphia, PA. We received a call from a vet that when they were opening, they found a box with these guys in it,” Jonny of Green Street Rescue wrote via reddit.

“They were just hours old.”

At the same time, a white kitten who was much smaller than her age, came to her foster’s home without a mother.

The rescue group decided to try introducing the kitten to the cat mama, hoping she would accept her. And she did with open arms!

“Our organization is just five people, but we’ve rescued 200 cats this year alone,” he added.

This white kitty (on the left) came as an orphan. She’s two weeks older than the others, but much smaller than her age.

“Everything is going to be all right, little one. I am your mom now!”
