..kitten season. Every year, anywhere from late February through early November, the kitten population explodes and PFA receives call after call about mamas and litter in peril.
We do what we can, but we are a small, volunteer based non-profit and we do have limits. When we were contacted on the labour day long week-end about a tame pregnant female, we booked a spay for 1st thing Tuesday and hoped for the best.
Alas, we were too late and the kittens came two days ahead of the spay. The mama cat is Missy and she has 7 healthy baby kittens, one of the bigger litters we've rescued. Fortunately, the lady who rescued Missy is willing to foster the kittens until we are weaned, or we would not be in a position to help this little cat family as we have no room in foster care.
However, we are always surprised and very grateful at the number of kind citizens willing to help out an animal in need, and Missy and her babies are fortunate that they found such a person.
The babies are almost 2 weeks old and will be list for adoption soon.
