Being a mom is hard work!
It's true, just ask Cal, she's zonked out. Hey, if you had 3 babies you'd probably be tired too. Actually, I think she is so relaxed because her and the babies were just rescued from the shelter and she is loving being in a quiet home where her and her kittens are safe and sound. Cal (momma), Jem (orange tabby), Scout (brown tabby) and Dill (the blackie) were in East Valley for over two whole weeks. I'm guessing they are so relieved to make it out safe and sound because right now East Valley is overflowing with well over 200 cats and kittens. The shelter is so maxed out that cats, kittens, moms and litters are being placed all over in rooms that weren't even created to hold animals and they simply don't have enough room. Unfortunately most the general visiting public cannot even see these guys cuz you'd have to be escorted into the maze of rooms and halls which house these precious ones.
All they are looking for is a room... bathroom or spare bedroom will do just fine, thank you...where they can hang out all by themselves. They are going to the vet first thing tomorrow morning where they will checked out and mom will probably be put on antibiotics as unfortunately most cats need it when they are behind bars for so long. Other than that food will be provided, babies will want some human lovin' and mom will continue her role as the BEST mamsita in the WEST.
"Cal, Jem, Scout and Dill," you're asking? Names ring a bell? I'm revisiting a lil' old book called "To Kill a Mockingbird" and I think the spunky personalities of the kids in the book match these kittens.
