They fed her and watched her go on her merry way, only to return the next morning, ravenous again. After petting her, they realized that the cat was a nursing mama, and sure enough, after feeding for her for a few days and gaining her trust, she turned on their doorstep with 5 baby kittens!
They opened the door and in marched the little family and made themselves at home. The mama and kittens are all very tame and are litter box trained already, leading us to believe that they may have been dumped there, or abandoned.
So, when the family returned to Regina, they brought the little cat family with them. They noticed that the mama cat, Honey, was a bit stressed and restless, but of course attributed it to the trip and new environment.
But as it turns out, she was missing a baby! The family heard from their relatives at the lake that a sixth kitten had been found. Fortunately, someone has volunteered to bring the little guy to Regina so he can be reunited with his mama and siblings.
Honey and her babies are doing great. They are about 6 weeks old, litter box trained and eating soft food so will be ready for adoption very soon.
We are so glad there are caring people who were willing to help a little mama cat in need, and happy that Honey and her kittens will get a chance at loving forever homes.
