    So just over a week ago I was approached by this little girl in a pub garden. The br staff said she'd turned up a few days before and had been trying to get inside and scavenging for food. My friend and

    I thought it would be a good idea to take her home and she is currently living in my spare room.... | left my number with the pub and tried to find out if she belonged to anyone on social media but nothing. The poor thing was starving,

    but super friendly and litter trained so I think she must have been dumped. I took her to my vet who confirmed she's about 5/6 months old, not chipped and definitely pregnant. She was also full of fleas and worms

    which has now been treated. They wouldn't do a spay abort because they said I hadn't had her long enough and it could be someone else's cat. Bearing in mind I am happy to I cover all these bills and she is not

    chipped and not in the best condition for such a young cat. Plus, the world doesn't need more kittens (as much as I love them). So yeah, she's in my spare room living her best life and waiting to

    give birth, which was not in the plan. I have two other cats (one has urinary issues, and is recovering from a blockage) so she's likely just a guest for the next few months. I will then get her spayed and vaccinated along

    started to introduce them which is actually going well, but they are only looking at each other from a good distance for the moment and it will be an incredibly slow process.

    Well we got into another vet today (originally tomorrow but they had a cancellation). They said she's due to give birth imminently so we're getting kittens. Fingers crossed for a maximum of 3

    because we already have wonderful homes lined up - 2 with my friends brother and one with my husbands manager (though if there's four I'm sure she can be convinced two kittens are better

    than one). This vet also said she isn't as young as we (or the previous vet) thought - she reckons she's about 9/10 months old but is just a teeny tiny cat. Some of you also guessed that she was my husbands cat and

    you were right. He doesn't want to let her go so her name is Yuki (the only real gender neutral F1 driver name) and she lives with us now. Will update again with kittens!

    Here's a little update on Yuki and her babies who are now 5 weeks old! She is the best mum, and is finally feeling super soft and healthy after having to be wormed 3 times and we have finally cleared up the fleas.

    Kittens are thriving and all have amazing homes to go to. They were originally all named after F1 drivers - Max is now Pixie, Alex is Holly (holly is the 3rd picture and she is a stunner), Checo's new

    however looking forward to them growing up and going to their forever homes - though it's a while yet as they will be leaving at 14 weeks so their jabs are all done. Mum is getting spayed asap

    too, which will be booked in at their check up when the kitties are 8 weeks. And for those who saw my original posts, Yuki is the light of my husbands life, they're best buds and it was just meant to be

    Some of you may remember Yuki and her kittens- they're now 12 weeks old! The girls have gone to their forever homes in the last couple of days and Lando goes today. The home we had
