Mrs Moms came to us about six weeks ago very pregnant from a rescue shelter. She gave birth to them here and they will all go back when the kittens are old enough to adopt. She is the calmest cat I’ve ever seen and makes friends with people and other cats instantly.
We noticed she was breathing heavily, took her to be checked, and she is now fighting for her life with what turned out to be an extremely serious case of pneumonia. We’ll know tomorrow how the treatments are going. The rescue shelter has a no-kill policy and they are doing everything they can.
The kittens are 4 weeks old, starting to eat food, and we are bottle feeding them with KMR (Kitten Meal Replacement.) They’ll be fine. Let’s hope Mrs Moms will be too.
I hope Mrs. Moms feels better! My human is with you about the right-wingers. BTW, I’d like to tell you that I’ve written a scathingly funny book, The World Is Your Litter Box, which will be out May 6th. The book is cleverly disguised as a cute cat book so humans will buy it, but is, in fact, a how-to manual FOR cats. Check it out on my website, http://www.theworldisyourlitterbox.com.
Great site!
Mrs Moms is under heavy medical care and is still alive. They won’t know for several more days if she will make it. If she does, this foster mom will probably become a permanent member of our cat family.
Mrs Moms died this morning. Damn.
Her five kittens are fine, eating wet food now, running around having fun. They’ll be ready for adoption in a week or so.
