  • What a crazy Christmas Eve I had! This mama cat had her babies in my driveway, but shortly left. I guess she was scared, and didn't come back to feed them. They were meowing loudly.

  • I brought them home. Spent my day giving them formula. Very difficult work. We also left a trap outside for mama.

  • Since adult cats are less likely to get adopted, I'll probably keep mama. But that's a worry the future. For now I'm taking care of them.

  • FeralSweater Thank you for your kind work. How many kittens are there?
  • OP ChanceQuiet795 We did, and found the fifth kitty! The first picture, there's only 4, the first ones we found.
  • Pitiful-Young-9594 hope she didn't finish giving birth else where! Make sure to check around for any additional meowing!
  • Cthulhu_Knits It's a Christmas miracle! Thank you for taking them in!
  • Necessary-Survey-705 Mama looks like a baby herself. So sad how they can start going into heat before they are even a year old. Makes it really tough for all who work so hard to keep the feral population under control.
  • Malsperanza Extra gold stars for working hard to get mama and bring her in. That's the thing rescue groups try to stress, not only because the babies have a better chance, but also to stop the endless feral reproductive cycle. You're a captain in the CDS now. You might try working with a rescue group and offering mama cat with one of the babies as an adoption pair. She's pretty and probably very young, which means she should be quite adoptable. I mention this only because it's very important for
  • SardonicusR Now that is a lovely set of pictures to wake up to on Christmas morning! Thank you for giving the mom and her babies such a welcome!
  • Infamous_Ranger_3671 She looks very, very thin and young herself. I would be feeding her kitten, wet food while she's nursing.
  • BugComfortable3924 Thank you! You are an excellent human. Seriously, people like you restore my faith in humanity
