The rescue group immediately arranged for a temporary home for them to stay the night and a long-term foster thereafter.

The family of four were scared when they first arrived, and huddled up together inside a makeshift nursery. With a quiet space to decompress and good food to fill their bellies, the cat mom began to come out of her shell.

She was named Nessie. Once she realized they were safe, she emerged from the nest and explored around the room, checking every nook and cranny.
