Wrenn Rescues is a volunteer/foster-based non-profit organization that helps animals in Los Angeles and Ventura County, California. It was founded in May 2018.

In March this year, a foster mom for Wrenn Rescues named Nikki took an adorable pregnant cat named Lasagna. Soon after, her lovely kittens become well-known as the "Noodle Babies".

First, two kittens came to Nikki's home, but the next morning others arrived. There were a total of six kittens.

Unfortunately, even in her kindly and comfortably home, two kittens didn't make it. But the rest of them got a chance to live their furry lives.

If they had stayed on the street, who knows how many of them would manage to survive. But Nikki gave them a heart-warming home, her love, and devotion, and she took care of them.

As soon as they arrived at her home, she noticed that one kitten of the Noodle Babies had an issue. The white kitten named Stellini came with a cleft palate that resulted in feeding problems.

But even with the best neonatal care, he wouldn't make it. The other kitten was stillborn, so there was nothing they could do.

This was a painful loss for Nikki, but that didn't stop her from making sure the other kittens were well and in a comfortable place with their mom.

“The Mom Life of being a full time milk bar.”

“I literally can’t stop watching them eat. It’s the cutest thing ever! Then to see them sack out in a milk coma,” said Nikki.

Luckily, the rest of Noodle Babies was okay and healthful.

As they grew, their eyes started to open. In early April, all babies had opened their eyes.

Nikki named them all and even describe to us their unique features.

"1. Top Left: First-born boy and easy-going – Ravioli 

2. Top Right: Second-born boy Riccioli, at first thought a girl, the “baby koala.”

3. Bottom Left: Rigatoni – (Toni) another little girl who “loves to snuggle in a cuddle puddle.”

4. Bottom Right: Gnocchi –the feisty “bundle of deliciousness,” also a girl.

The baby noodle nuggets are 2 weeks old today!! They are growing fast and learning how to get around.

Ravioli is already trying to make it out of the box. Before you know it we’ll be in potty training mode and weaning.

Stop growing so fast little ones but also don’t.” said Nikki.

Baby Gnocchi was the first kitten of them who started to play with a toy.

We also found out that, as in every family between brothers and sisters, a competition must exist. They often fight for the same feeding spot.

“The judge stares at this age crack me up“, said Nikki.

From the first moment, mama Lasagna was a purrfect mama, carefully observing her little ones. Nikki said it was “the cutest thing ever”.

Nikki said that Lasagna is the best mama in the world.

“This little mama is just too dang sweet! She was already super sweet when she came to me and has only gotten sweeter over just a little time here already.

I always say ‘she’s seriously going to make someone/some family so incredibly happy.’ I don’t know exactly how old she is but my guess would be 1-2.

She’s still super playful but all she really wants is love and affection,”, wrote Nikki.

“Mom time” for cat Lasagna.

“Mama Lasagna is such a delight. She’s an amazing mama to her last litter she’ll ever have (no idea how many or if she’s had any before) and enjoys coming over to hang out to get some “mom time” to herself for some love, cuddles, and play.

She’s obsessed with catnip (slide 2 is her mid catnip high) but most of all she wants to be near me, touch me or get pets. She’ll shove her head under my hand for more if I stop ” said Nikki.

"Happy #caturday from Mama Lasagna and Gnocchi."

The best feeling is watching a content family, and thanks to Nikki and Wrenn Rescues organization, this furry family is a happy one. If you have ever thought about fostering before, you should do it, said Nikki.
