Call it a high-tech rescue.
A mother cat and her newborn kittens are safe and recovering after rescuers in the Okanagan used an AirTag to track down the hidden litter in a forested area of East Kelowna.
The Okanagan Humane Society says a pregnant stray cat was first spotted on April 15, prompting a search effort by a local rescuer who spent about a week trying to locate both the animal and any offspring.
On April 23, volunteers were able to safely contain the mother cat. She had already given birth and concealed her kittens nearby. In an effort to locate them, rescuers attached an AirTag to the mother before releasing her back into the area.
