Christmas Eve kitten rescue has a happy ending after a cat lover brings 5 kittens and their mama to warm their whiskers in front of a holiday hearth: 'It's a Christmas miracle!'

Not every Christmas gift comes wrapped in festive paper and adorned with a bow. Sometimes the greatest gift of all comes in a package that's fur-covered and smol, like a cute little kitten with a button nose and small paws. How about five feline babies? What a sight! So young they had no concept of how to use their claws, and with a warm winter fire inside, these kittens became the purrfect holiday gift when a cat lover made the ultimate sacrifice to save the whole litter of babies. 

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring… Except for five kitten newborns wriggling on the cold driveway. 

Kitten meows are the cutest, most devastatingly heartbreaking sounds in the world. At kitties call out into the void, their little voices can be heard for miles by a well-trained cat lover, and for many of us who are constantly surveying the neighborhood for wayward felines, this call for help is a call to action. Meowing for help, these five kittens had just been born into a cold and freezing world. Left alone briefly when their mama scampered into the snow-covered bushes, a cat lover discovered a shivering collection of littermates, eyes barely open in the blizzard-like wind. Instead of prioritizing her holiday festivities, this cat lover canceled everything, putting the lives, safety, and warm whiskers of these kittens in her holiday schedule instead. 

Mewing for mama, these kittens got a bipedal human surrogate for their first few hours of life, until the impawssible happened and their biomom came rushing back to cuddle in front of the Christmas fire as well. Drawn by the warmth and love of a human home, these kittens and their mother will never know the harshness of the outside world again. 

For it's pawtentially a Christmas miracle that they survived their first night, but an even bigger gift to live the rest of their nine lives as pampered indoor kitties, loving every meowment of sunshine through the window, windless nights, and an assortment of warm beds to choose from every evening.
