An Update on Ophelia and Her Babies




Last night, I had the privilege of visiting the beautiful mama cat, Ophelia, and her precious babies who are currently tucked away safely with our awesome foster mom, Paulette.

These kittens are barely 2 weeks old, and so tiny they fit into the palm of my hand. I have seen plenty of kittens but have never witnessed such tiny babies, still suckling from their mama. It was very sweet.

Sadly, one of the babies failed to thrive and passed away late last night, despite regular bottle feedings and lots of TLC from both the mama cat and the human foster mom. The poor little kitten simply was not meant to be. Thankfully his siblings are strong and healthy and the little cat family is doing well.
