Soon they realized that the mama cat was likely hit by a car while trying to move her kittens to a safe and dry place. It was unclear how the kittens became scattered everywhere, but it was a miracle they had survived.
The rescuers placed the kittens in a transport cage, ready to take them to an emergency vet. One rescuer took it upon himself to search the area to make sure no kitten had been left behind. Suddenly, he spotted something truly heartbreaking. A three-month-old kitten had found shelter in one of the most unexpected places: under the wing of an injured falcon.
It almost looked like the falcon was hugging the little kitten as they waited for help. The falcon was so protective it actually attacked the rescuer when he tried to approach them. The rescuers quickly realized the falcon was taking its protector role seriously and had to patiently wait for the kitten to come out. A treat did the trick, and the kitten stepped out from its feathery hiding spot.
After just four days, the two falcons had fully recovered in the safety of the animal shelter. With the weather finally clearing up, the helpers took the falcons to a nearby park to release them. The two flew off into new adventures, and the rescuers were overjoyed to have helped these majestic creatures.
