We find ourselves going back to the same neighborhoods a lot… the places where this all started for us. The places where good people step up when cats are dumped or left behind. This is one of those situations. Erin was out there on her own, still just a young cat herself. She wasn’t feral, just unsure. She’d come up for food, get close, then stop short every time. Like she wanted to trust, but didn’t quite know how yet. Before we were able to bring her in, she gave birth in a shed. It was cold, but at least she had some kind of shelter. We got the call and went out as soon as we could. The kittens were about a week old at that point. Thankfully, this time we were able to get everyone to safety together. Now she’s in a foster home, raising her babies somewhere warm and quiet. And she’s changing. You can see it happening little by little. She’s starting to relax. Starting to trust. Starting to just be a cat. And her kittens… they’re exactly what you’d expect. Playful, curious, and full of personality already. They tumble around, chase each other, and then pile up together like nothing ever happened. Kitten 1: Dublin,male orange tabby (adopted) Kitten 2: Paddy, brown and white tabby, female (adopted) Kitten 3:Clover, dilute calico, female (adopted) Kitten 4: Lucky, tuxedo, male Kitten 5: Shamrock, brown tabby, male Erin still has a little ways to go, but she’s getting there. And her babies are already soaking up the good life. If you’re interested in giving one of them a home, you can apply here: https://form.jotform.com/202214857624050
