Cat Mama Left Preemie Baby Behind But Came Back With Two Little Surprises

#1 Peanut on the day he was born.

"Peanut was abandoned due to being premature. His momma is a farm cat. Shortly after his birth and the death of his 2 litter mates his mother disappeared. She thought he was going to die and left him," ‎

"At birth he was underweight, nearly hairless, could not maintain his body temperature and had breathing issues."

#2 He was just a few hours old.

#3 "My husband and I fed him hourly and slept with him on our chests. We kept him with us 24/7."

At 3 days old, Peanut's human dad kept him warm and fed him around the clock.

"His kitty momma showed up a week after his birth and surprised us with 2 more kittens,"

The cat mama went into preterm labor with Peanut and a week later gave birth to two healthy babies. "After her other kittens were born she now takes care of Peanut as well."

#4 One week after he was born, Peanut finally could fill up his human's palm.

#5 When cat mama came back, she brought two other tiny babies into the family.

#6 The mom cat decided to stay at the house and started nursing all three hungry kittens.

#7 Peanut is almost 3 weeks old now, still the smallest of the three, but he's growing and thriving.
