Viral Video Shows A Cat Walking Into A Hospital With Her Newborn Kitten To Get Medics To Help It
A cat has melted hearts after walking into a hospital carrying her kittens, seeking medical attention. And the staff rushed to help them.
The best part is that someone also recorded what was happening in the hospital in the Karabaglar district in Izmir, Turkey, allowing the entire world to see the concerned, loving mom taking care of her newborns.
In the video, you can see people stepping aside to allow the cat through the building, with some urging others to move out of the way as well.

The hospital staff already knew the mother as they had left food and water out for the animal before

After examining the kittens, doctors and nurses realized the animals were suffering from an eye infection. They contacted a veterinary clinic to make sure they treat the animals correctly.
Additional video clips recorded by members of staff at the hospital in Turkey showed the kittens sitting in a box while a health worker talked to them.
They also showed a nurse applying eye drops to help treat the kitten’s infection. Speaking to local media, one of the health workers said: “We were giving food and water to the mother cat living on the street with other people living in this area. However, we did not know that she gave birth to kittens.”
The entire family got the assistance they needed.

“As we began to receive patients in the morning, she showed up with her kittens. She asked for help, meowing for a long time. We were shocked,” the worker added.
“Upon careful examination, we saw that the kittens were not able to open their eyes due to infection. We consulted with veterinarians and gave medicine as described. When the kittens opened their eyes a short time later, we were thrilled.”
“Later, we sent the mother cat and kittens to Uzundere for further care. This is the first time something like this has happened to us. We were emotional and delighted to see that they recovered well.”

A year ago, Bored Panda reported on a similar situation that also took place in Turkey

Turkish people really love cats. This mother cat must have known that the hospital had people that would help her and her kittens since they would leave food for her in the past.
I went to Turkey once, and there were cats up and down the streets.

Well now I have that Disney 'Mother Knows Best' song in my head (Tangled). Story is adorable, though
Great, now I have that as an earworm. But this story warms my heart! She knew she could trust the humans :-)

She understands that hospital is where you go when you are sick, she understands that her kittens are sick and that the hospital WOULD help because humans like cats. She then risks it by taking her kittens to hospital to get them the care they need. I can't get over how intelligent this is but I do understand the love, a mother would do anything for her babies..
Sweet, super sweet, unbelivably sweet, I CAN'T HANDLE IT IT'S TOO SWEET!!!!
Stray cats and dogs are a part of life in Turkey. Municipalities alongside residents of each region look after them well.
Awww... I can't handle the love! Well I can but you know what I mean.
Seems like Turkey really, really love cats. <3 I remember they made a statue in memory of a much loved neighborhood street cat, named Tombili, in Istanbul. I believe people also leave food/offerings their for Tombili, and of course to help the other local strays. Such a wholesome thing to do.
I love cats, but Turkey seriously has a problem. They need to start neutering them!! Amount of injured, malnourished, dead cats and kittens in Istanbul streets broke my heart.
They weren't newborn kittens. Kittens are born with their eyes closed, and they don't open until around 2 weeks old. Mothers often move their kittens around that age because they start to get adventurous, and the mother has to find a new place where it's safer to explore a bit, so she took them to the people who feed her.
Very smart mama cat 💗 That's how a little stray adopted me! She always came because I'd feed her but one day, she let me pet her and even followed me inside my home...and a few days later I started to notice that she was pregnant haha. Very smart kitties and I'm so happy the people there took care of that mama and her babies 💗
If the mom hadn't sought help that cat might have needed it removed later and it would have been very painful :(
I juge a whole nation to they compassion to animals. Turkey, we respect you.
