Tuesday evening one of our foster volunteers picked up a momma cat and five kittens who had been born outside during the most recent cold spell. Thankfully someone in the neighborhood, a woman named Donna, had placed two insulated boxes under the deck of her apartment building to help the stray cats in the area survive the winter. Momma cat moved into one box shortly before giving birth and Donna was surprised to find kittens one day when checking the boxes and setting out food. She contacted Feline Rescue and the family was brought inside safely. Momma cat is a small, young cat so it is a good thing they made it inside before any roaming animals could find the babies.
Momma has been named Valentine. They are certainly a beautiful, colorful family.
We are always in need of new foster homes and the need is greatest as the weather begins to warm and kittens are being born. If you are interested in fostering, please contact Cathy at 651-230-3263.
Please spay and neuter your pets to prevent unwanted litters.
