When officers were called to impound an abandoned car in New York City, they discovered much more than the usual parking tickets. Fortunately, a city employee had peeked inside the vehicle before the tow truck arrived, where he discovered a mother cat nursing six baby kittens on the back seat. Unbeknownst to the cats, they almost had a tragic fate before they were rescued. Lisa Winters of Little Wanderers, the New York City rescue organization caring for this young family, told us. Talk about being saved in the nick of time. Little Wanderers seeks to find, rescue, spay or neuter and rehome at-risk community cats around New York City. The non-profit rescue group depends on a large network of volunteers to help them achieve this vital mission. One volunteer, Anne Fury, drove out to rescue the Farrell family from the abandoned car early the next morning. Afterwards, she took the young family to the vet for a checkup, and after they received a clean bill of health, dropped them off at their new foster home. A second volunteer, Stacey, opened up her home to this young feline family. The house is quiet, warm, cozy, and miles away from the rusty vehicle where the kittens were born. Stacey even set up a comfy cat room, allowing the new mother, now known as Mama LaBelle, to nurse and cuddle her kittens in peace. Mama LaBelle and her six, three-week-old kittens are safe in a wonderful foster home far away from the back seat of an impounded car in East Harlem where they were born, rescuers wrote on their Facebook page, describing the little family as so happy with their upgraded digs. Rescuers also hope this heartwarming story will inspire more people to open their homes for needy animals, who often blossom in a quiet family environment where they can learn social skills and better recover from any trauma. Foster care also saves lives by getting animals out of noisy, overcrowded shelters, where cats and dogs run increased risk of euthanasia. Little Wanderers doesn't operate a shelter, so we rely on fosters to help us save the neediest cats in the toughest neighborhoods, rescuers explained on Facebook. We need homes to place rescued cats from the street, and because it helps reduce overcrowding in shelters and opens up space for other animals to be saved. It also helps to prepare animals for adoption by giving them a chance to live in a home where they can fully express their personality, work to overcome fears, or recover from trauma. Foster care has certainly been a game-changer for one little family, says Stacey. Mama LaBelle and the kittens are settling in beautifully, she told us. They're healthy and the babies are approximately three weeks old, four boys and two girls.
