Transcript

00:00These kittens were tiny little nuggets, eyes closed, no sense of where they were or what

00:08was going on.

00:09Brooklyn Animal Action was alerted to this mom of newborn kittens stuck behind a fence.

00:14That's where she gave birth.

00:15We cut the fence because they were all tangled in it.

00:18But first we tried to trap her, tried to get her out with food and we could not lure her

00:22out so we realized, okay, we're actually going to have to cut more holes into the fence and

00:27grab them one by one.

00:31We ended up transporting them home in a Popeye's box because that was all we had at the time.

00:36We'd actually used the fried chicken to try and lure mom out, didn't work, but the box

00:40came in super handy because we were able to just stash all of these kittens in the box,

00:45close it and keep them warm.

00:49Right after the rescue, we took everyone to my house and the first thing we had to do

00:53was assess was mom feral or was she friendly and it became pretty clear quickly that she

00:58was friendly.

00:59Good job, mama.

01:06Initially the kittens were pretty small for their age and so we had to do some supplemental

01:12feeding.

01:16For several days, mom actually had to get more care than the kittens.

01:20It made me feel really sad to see that she had this bad cold because she was caring so

01:25well for her kittens.

01:26After a while, she got better so it was really nice that I was the one being able to care

01:31for her because she really deserves it.

01:33Oh, you're so sweet after everything that happened to you.

01:37After four weeks, I noticed that everyone was doing much better.

01:40The kittens are just complete balls of energy.

01:43It's just constant running around, wrestling.

01:46The Popeye's box still has a lot of appeal for them.

01:48Whether it's climbing into it, whether it's chasing each other through it, they absolutely

01:53still love playing with it.

01:56The Dodo was nice enough to send us some chicken play toys and I think it's really sweet because

02:03I like to think that it reminds them of where they came from.

02:08Kittens will do best in kind of any family as long as they go in pairs because they really

02:14are bonded with each other.

02:16I just think they're going to make a wonderful addition to any family.

02:21For anyone looking to adopt Mama Olive Oil, she's an amazing cat.

02:25It sounds hippy-dippy, but I feel like she's wise beyond her years.

02:29She's so calm.

02:30She is so easygoing.

02:35She might require some additional care because she has some issues that we're working on

02:41remedying, but she might just have one eye in the end.

02:45But even a one-eyed cat is a perfect cat.

02:48It's been amazing for me to watch them grow up and it's hard to remember sometimes that

02:52it was only a few weeks ago that they were these tiny nuggets that fit into the Popeye's

02:56box because now they're kittens.

02:59They run around, they jump, they talk to me.

03:03It's amazing.
