Tehya and her six new kittens

TEHYA AND KITTENS IN FOSTER CARE

Just in the nick of time, a stray cat was rescued on the Red Lake Indian Reservation and taken to Red Lake Rosie's Rescue. Two days later- she had a beautiful litter of six kittens!  Her belly was big as a balloon when we took her in, but we did not think she was going to have kittens so soon.

MUFFET WITH KITTENS NEWBORN

Thankfully, Feline Rescue was able to take in the little mama and her family.  She was transported on Monday, May 27th to her new foster home.

READY FOR TRANSPORT

We are so happy we got her just when we did! She is a wonderful cat and a great mother too. 

UPDATE FROM FOSTER HOME:
So far, so good! My momma (Tehya) is doing an awesome job taking care of her kittens, and the whole bunch seems happy and healthy. I snapped a couple of pics during our session when we weighed the kittens yesterday. My youngest son holding the kitten he named “Dot.” Oh boy, he’s already starting to bond with that kitten!

Our momma is sweet and gentle and she genuinely seems to love it when we all hang out in her room with her and the kittens. Last night we sat on the floor and played Oceanopoly while Tehya lounged in bed with the babies and purred loudly. She enjoyed standing in the middle of our game board for several bouts of tickle time! She’s quite a little ham.
