These Momma and Baby Were Left with a Plate of Crisps on a Woman’s Doorstep


Everyone knows that a mother will never abandon her children. This goes for humans and animals both, and now we have proof of it. This baby momma was dumbed on a doorstep with a plate of crisps, and she never left her kitten’s side.

After getting back home from work one day, a woman found an unusual “gift” on her doorstep. There was a carry case with a momma cat and a baby inside – the kitten was only 5 months old. The woman called the Mayhew Animal Centre for help at once. Animal welfare officers arrived immediately and found a dish with tortilla crisps inside. The snack, as we all know, was not appropriate for cats as it’s full of salt. The momma and her baby seemed distressed and we don’t blame them at all.

The mother was named Linda at the shelter, while her baby was named Stella. They were checked by the vets and fed a hearty meal. Fortunately, both didn’t suffer from any condition, but were a bit shaken up from the whole situation. The staff at the Mayhew Centre handled the cats gently all the time. The little kitten was up and running in a short time, trying to suckle from Linda all the time. They had to be separated until Stella got comfortable with regular food. The little cute kitten was adopted in a loving family, with her momma still waiting for a new home.

At the moment, Linda is in foster care and doing great. Alissa, her foster mom, says that she’s a gentle and loving cat who loves head rubs and follows her current owners whenever they go. Isn’t she a beauty?
