Seven kittens rescued from the trash and rain are adopted: 'I will take care of them with all my love'
Seven kittens found abandoned in the trash and rain have been successfully adopted after a social media mobilization in Teresina, Brazil.
Seven kittens were rescued in the Saci neighborhood of Teresina, Brazil, after being abandoned in the trash and exposed to the rain. The rescuer, photographer Thiago Amaral, discovered the kittens shivering and hungry on a sidewalk, prompting him to share their plight on social media. The online exposure led to immediate interest from the community to adopt the kittens and provide them with necessary support.
The public's response was overwhelming, with many individuals stepping forward to offer homes to the kittens. Thiago received assistance from veterinarians and independent animal protectors, including guidance from a military police veterinary student regarding medication and basic care. The kittens were treated for worms and fleas before being placed in their new homes, which demonstrates a collective effort in animal rescue within the local community.
The successful adoption was celebrated by Thiago, who noted that all seven kittens found new families very quickly. With five already given to loving homes and two scheduled for delivery the following day, this story not only highlights the kindness of individuals but also raises awareness about the importance of animal welfare and the impact of social media in mobilizing community support for vulnerable animals.
