When a litter of squirrels got knocked out of their nest during a cyclone, their mother was nowhere to be found. Luckily, some compassionate people stepped in to help, vowing to care for the orphans.
The family’s kitten, Hetty, took an instant liking to her new housemates and made it a priority to keep them safe and warm. The family had adopted Hetty herself just a few months earlier.
After a few days passed by, the family heard what they thought was a mother squirrel calling for her babies. Could it be the tiny orphans’ mom?
To find out for sure, they placed one of the babies on their porch and waited. Soon enough, the baby responded to the mother’s calls. Then, the mother approached her baby. After carrying him away, she continued to return for the rest of her litter, until her family was once again complete.
What a wonderful family of humans and animals! This restores my faith in humanity for a few moments. May all of life’s best blessings and fortune come to this fine family … your compassion is beautiful … hugs to Hetty xxx
A lovely story.
Such a beautiful story. Kind people are the best. And their sweet kitty, Hetty. And the momma squirrel who loves her babies.
Thank you.
Beautiful story nice to know there are still decent people who love animals in the world!
Beautiful story! Hetty is a hero and her family I wish you all nothing but good things. My faith in humanity has been restored god is up in heaven with a smile on his face because he knows his greatest commandment was followed love one another as I have loved you!
Beautiful story!!!! Hetty is a hero and her family. I wish nothing but the best for all.My faith in humanity has been restored god is up in heaven with a smile on his face for he knows his commandment of love one another as I have loved you was followed!!God bless all of you!
What an up-lifting story. It is so inspiring to know that there are so many wonderful people in the world that make up for the not so wonderful. This family obviously love animals very much and animals thrive on love….good on you!.
A big thanku to Hetty the hero cat and her owner who had the presence of mind to bring them in out of the storm and a few dayys later to recognise that the adult squirrel in his yard might just be the mother looking for for family. Thankfully he facilitated a mother and child reunion.
❤❤❤?
BEAUTIFUL! — Wonderful people, sweet squirrels — JOB WELL DONE BY ALL!
Beautiful Story!
May the family who took in the cat and cared for the squirrels be blessed with all good things!
Let us all recognize that the squirrel mother KNEW that this man was taking care of her babies. Animals are aware of things that most of us are not (without the benefit of the spoken or written word), just as it’s fair to say that we know things that they don’t.
Just because animals cannot communicate to us what they know, does not make them less intelligent than we are. (I should only speak for myself.) : )
Animals have their own intelligence, and it is up to us to try harder to understand them, before writing them off as inferior. And we don’t have to cut them up or enslave them in laboratories to do this. They are not expendable.
Thank you for all of your compassion and appreciation. I love my Lady Freethinking Family. And special thanks to the beautiful soul who took in this cat, and these squirrels. He is my hero!
Wonderful story. Yes I agree that animals know so much more than our silly brains think they do. I am Vegan because I won’t contribute to the hideous cruelty we inflict upon these innocents. Whether cow, dog, pig chicken, lamb or turkey etc they all deserve to be treated with respect and care and not be bred in order to enslave, mutilate, crowd together and chop up. How dare we! As a species, we’re stupid and violent. Thank you so much to kind people who do good things for animals.
Hetty is an angle ! Nice Cat ! Happy for both the cat and squirrel.
What kind people and what a lovely happy ending.
“Compassion for animals is intimately connected with goodness of character and it may be confidently asserted that he who is cruel to animals cannot be a good (hu)man.” ~ Arthur Schopenhauer, German Philosopher
Really nice story,nice to read some good ones sometimes.Im so glad there’s such good and kind people in this world,.they deserve so much for these things they have done for these animals and I’m sure they get it when these animals love them back so much more that’s a nice reward for them to receive. Thanks Again to these people and all the others who help animals to.
Storia meravigliosa e questa è la dimostrazione che gli animali amano i cuccioli in modo indiscriminato. L’essere umano ha molto da imparare.
Wonderful people doing wonderful things!
Wonderful people doing wonderful things!
Heartwarming! That squirrel Mum must have been so incredibly happy.
What kind of milk?…since formula in the store for kittens etc is not healthy…may have GMO soy/GMO corn etc.
Thank you for Rescuing the Kitty Baby. Thank you for Rescuing the Baby Chipmunks.
I wish there are more people like you in this world.This restores my faith in humanity. Hetty and all of you have a good heart and I hope that you will all have great blessings 🙂
If only humans would care and love their families like that.animals have a strong since of affection for their offspring.they love their babies just like humans do.maybe more
This is the best story EVER!!
God bless you and Hetty for looking out for those helpless baby squirrels. I’m glad they were finally reunited with their mother and I am very happy that they found you. You and Hetty are true heroes and I’m sure if the mother squirrel could talk, she’d say “thank you”.
I remember Hetty getting rescued! Now Hetty helps keep these little squirrels safe and warm.
And mom-squirrel finds her babies. I LOVE a happy ending ?
Thank you to Hetty & Her Beauty Mark (on YouTube) and Hetty’s wonderful, loving family ?
I wish we had more people like you in this world.
SO beautiful❣️ TY
I love this! Bless the family and the kitty who helped. I hope she doesn’t miss them to much. What an amazing animal!
How wonderful!! Glad they have a new momma!!
Darling Hetty is still little baby herself too. So nice she took care of small scirrels, because she remembered, what it was like to be all alone and helpless.
Thank you so much you gorgeous people for understanding how cruel the world is to animals.
I wish you and Hetty have a wonderful life together.
