An NGO along with the forest department successfully reunited two of the world's smallest wild cat kittens with their mother in Pune recently. The Rusty-spotted kittens had been separated from their mother for two days.

The two kittens, approximately a month old, were discovered in a harvested sugarcane field near Uruli Kanchan, Pune. The locals reported this to the Pune Forest Department and NGO RESQCT Wildlife Team (Bavdhan, Pune), who went immediately to attempt a reunion with the mother on the same day.
