As reported by Love Meow, this litter wasn't Queenie's first. "Prior to coming to the shelter, the staff were told she gave birth to several large litters in the past. Luckily, this is her last time having to go through labor," The Exploits Valley SPCA wrote. A little while after arriving to the shelter, Queenie gave birth to a litter of eight kittens. She was loving and doted on them instantly, raising them to be strong and healthy.

Finally, the little was ready to be adopted, and with how healthy and awwdorable the kittens were, people picked them up and took them into their new homes relatively quickly. Queenie, unfortunately, ended up being the last one that needed a forever home, staying in the shelter after all of her kittens were gone.

"Queenie raised healthy, chubby, happy little kittens and now it's time for her to be someone's baby," the shelter wrote. The shelter explained that although they were happy all of Queenie's babies were adopted, she is also waiting for her own happily ever after. "Her stay was extra long--waiting to give birth, raising the kittens for eight weeks, and waiting to be chosen."

When December came around, Queenie officially became the longest resident at the Exploits Valley SPCA, having been there for six months at that point. You'd think that she isn't even that old at her age, but people were simply not choosing her, as is expected unfortunately. "She is so sweet and it would be so awesome for her to find a home for Christmas and forever more," the shelter wrote in a Facebook post.

And then, a miracle happened. One of Queenie's babies were adopted by Allison Crowe. Luna the baby was like a mini version of her momma. Another four months have passed, Queenie's stay getting longer and longer, and Allison's beloved cat Johnny crossed the rainbow bridge. "I was so sad. I looked and saw a post from the Exploits Valley SPCA--that Luna's mommy was officially their longest resident without being adopted," Allison wrote.

Something about hearing Queenie's story struck a chord with Allison, and she simply knew she needed to adopt her. "I decided my heart couldn't take any more sadness, knowing Luna's momma was there alone and her babies were all gone." She went back to the shelter and adopted Queenie.

"In a twist of fate, Mama Queenie was adopted with one of her babies four months later. Thanks to Allison for adopting our longest waiting gal Queenie, just in time to spend Christmas with her baby," The Exploits Valley SPCA shared. Queenie finally left the shelter and was so happy to be cuddling in Allison's arms in a place of her own.

The sweet momma is now in a forever home with one of her own babies, Luna, and a canine friend, Linkers. She's super affectionate, loves humans and spends a lot of time snuggling with everyone. "Queen Juno is settling in beautifully with us. We are absolutely in love with this gorgeous lil' lady," Allison wrote.
