As a street rescue group largely dedicated to working with Regina's large stray and feral cat population, we end up taking in a lot of kittens born to feral mothers to be fostered and adopted to loving homes. We have to remove the babies from the mamas when they are old enough to be weaned in order to give them a chance for loving homes and a life off of the streets.
So, it is kind of special for us to have tame mamas with their litters in foster care,and it is so beneficial for babies to be with their moms and litter mates until they are at least 8 weeks old.
A few weeks ago I wrote about the rescue of a mama with 7 kittens rescued from the Sedley seed plant.
These adorable kittens are now 4 weeks old and all are thriving. There are two tiny tortis Precious (peach strip between eyes) and Clover. The grey and white kitten is a girl named Sweet Pea. The black and white is also a girl, named T.C (for Too Cute). The grey kitten is a boy named Bear. The brown and black tabbies are boys named them Simba and Aslan.
Mama Jasmine is a tiny young cat, barely more than a kitten herself and she is very busy taking care of 7 babies but not too busy to accept snuggles. They are a very sweet and fun little cat family that will be listed for adoption soon.
