It was a hot and humid day, and the little family was suffocating.
A few small holes had been cut into the boxes, but it was clearly not enough.
A cruel discovery
When the vet opened the boxes, the poor cat and her kittens were desperately gasping for air. The mother cat, named Marie, truly amazed the rescuers. She immediately rubbed against the team members to ask for cuddles. Despite her terrible ordeal, she had lost none of her trust in humans and had so much love to give.
The vet quickly moved the feline family into an area at the shelter equipped with ice packs. This helped them cool down and stabilised their condition promptly.
A brighter future
The little family is now out of danger and resting in a welcoming foster home. Marie and her kittens are doing well and growing up in a suitable environment.
In a Facebook post, Main Line Animal Rescue reminded owners that options are always available when looking after a pet becomes too difficult. Pet owners should contact a shelter or animal welfare charity to arrange proper care.
Today, Marie and her little ones have the chance to grow up safely thanks to the organisation's care. The shelter is now appealing for donations so they can continue taking in other animals in distress.
