Satin and Her Kittens

This lovely little cat family is another recent PFA rescue story. Thanks to foster mom Connie for taking them in to foster and telling their story!

Satin's story is all too familiar in North Central. While still a kitten, she found herself abandoned on the streets, alone and intact - an easy target for tomcats roaming the neighbour-hood. It didn't take long until she was pregnant. This resilient little cat quickly learned to hunt and gratefully accepted any food a kind stranger offered her.

As the birth of her kittens drew near, Satin was smart enough to find an enclosed structure under a deck. She dug underneath the dirt floor and eventually gave birth to three beautiful kittens. Inside the enclosure, Satin and her babies were warm, dry and safely out of reach of tomcats, who would have killed the kittens. They remained hidden until the kittens were old enough to follow Satin outside into the sunshine and that's when the homeowner discovered them. She let them stay there for two weeks more weeks and when the temperature took a nosedive, People for Animals scooped up the little family and put them into foster care. By this time, Satin was skin and bones from keeping her kittens nourished.

Satin is a beautiful green-eyed, black and white kitten (10 months old) whose coat glistens in the sunlight. Satin is friendly, calm, gentle and has a regal appearance. She loves to play with cat toys and enjoys looking out the window. A special perk is being able to sleep in bed with her foster mom. Satin loves attention and purrs her appreciation at all the cuddles and patting she get now.

Since her kittens have been weaned, Satin is now thriving herself in foster care. The ideal home for Satin will be a quiet household, perhaps with respectful older children, and with people who will regard Satin as a permanent member of their family. Loud, rambunctious households would be too stressful for this gentle soul. Everyone who has met Satin considers her to be a real 'treasure'.

Satin's three adorable daughters are: Gidget - a blue-eyed, light coloured Siamese-cross with tortie ears, four white paws and a brown stripe down her nose; Cricket - a blue-eyed dusty-coloured Siamese-cross with chocolate ears, tail, and paws; Tinkerbell - a green-eyed calico with four white paws and a white tipped tail. All three kitties are just as cute as can be! The kittens have been de-wormed and will soon receive their first vaccination. All are healthy and well socialized. They love to play with each other and are ready to go to loving permanent homes.
